Four Key Matchups revisited: 49ers vs. Browns Week 5

Akash wrote four matchups to watch heading into Monday Night Football between the 49ers and the Browns. I thought it’d be fun to revisit them.

1. San Francisco’s run defense vs. Cleveland’s RB Nick Chubb

Chubb is always a big-play threat with his speed. He finished the game with 87 yards on 16 carries. Two of his carries went for first downs. That’s a win for the 49ers. The 37-yard gain caught the 49ers off-guard, as he lined up at fullback, and the Browns ran a nifty trap play.
