The San Francisco 49ers are coming off of arguably their biggest win of the season after last week’s overtime 26-20 victory over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The win marked the first time in nearly 30 years the 49ers walked away with a win in Chicago.

They hope to keep the momentum going this week as they travel back to the midwest to take on the Cleveland Browns and get their record up to 5-8 with the win.  Cleveland has had struggles of their own this year with a record of just 2-10 and 1-5 at home. San Francisco has also struggled in Cleveland, not winning there since 1984.

The Browns are giving Johnny “Football” Manziel one final chance after multiple off the field issue by giving him the start against the 49ers on Sunday. Manziel has seen his struggles in the NFL in his young career with the off the field issues making them a whole lot worse. If the 49ers can contain Manziel in the pocket, they are set up for success. Expect a lot of spy packages from the middle linebacker position this week for San Francisco.

Blaine Gabbert proved that he is also a man that can run the ball, something that the Browns are going to need to focus on, as his 44-yard touchdown run last week was the demise of Chicago. The Browns will need to keep an eye on the athleticism of the new 49ers QB, as he can use his legs once again to take San Francisco to victory.
