The San Francisco 49ers weren’t going to win them all, but Sunday’s 19-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns wasn’t supposed to be a loss.
Cleveland was playing its third quarterback of the young season, and PJ Walker played as such, held to under 200 passing yards with a pair of interceptions. The 49ers offense wasn’t much better and would only score seven second-half points with six of its final seven drives lasting three plays or fewer.
The 49ers were in a position to win, however, and that’s where we start our winners and losers from San Francisco’s first loss of 2023:
Loser: Jake Moody
No excuse can be made.
