The AWS Biggest Mover of the week has almost always (and understandably) been followed by regression, and the Cleveland Browns were no exception, losing big in Santa Clara on Monday to the upstart San Francisco 49ers, who are the AWS Biggest Movers after five weeks thanks to an undefeated record and impressive play on both sides of the ball.
The Niners are leaning on terrific playcalling (both offensively and defensively), lethal pass rush and run games, and just enough from starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. While it’s been fairly clear that they are a team to be reckoned with since the season started, some dominoes (namely the two-time defending NFC West champion Los Angeles Rams) needed to fall before they earned this distinction.
