Two things right up front: First, the way the Cleveland Browns got their Monday Night Football arses handed to them by the 49ers on national television was totally humiliating – to the team, their fans, the head coach, the general manager, the owners…Secondly, so what?
Seriously, who cares? That’s what happens in professional football. Any Given Sunday and all that.
That was a horrible loss caused by too many factors to fix quickly. Blame the excessive penalties and the offensive line and Baker Mayfield’s sudden regression and Odell Beckham’s lack of targets and all those defensive injuries and the inability to stop the run and twice failing to defer to the second half.
