The San Francisco 49ers host the Cleveland Browns at home this week in a matchup between two teams that are most successful when they run the ball.
On paper, it should be a matchup that favors the 49ers in that the Browns’ key to success will be feeding Nick Chubb and the Niners are the number one team right now in rushing yards allowed — given they were off last week.
We saw last week how the Browns took apart a very good Baltimore Ravens team by managing the clock and giving Chubb his touches out of the backfield, which resulted in a 165-rushing-yard and three-touchdown afternoon for the second-year running back out of Georgia.
