Week 6 was a great week for the Cleveland Browns with their win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Cleveland defeated the 49ers, 19-17, by way of a stiff defense that had San Francisco flustered.
After the bye week last week, the Browns came in at No. 19 on the power rankings. Now, Cleveland is up to No. 14.
Last week: win vs. San Francisco, 19–17
Next week: at Indianapolis
“The Browns were everywhere defensively on Sunday, and while they benefited from a few fatal errors on behalf of the 49ers, this is the beauty of the team they created: rarely will the Browns be out of a game due to the construction of their roster. Another thing I learned (or, I suppose, had re-instilled in my memory): Amari Cooper is elite elite. He took over segments of that game against a very physical and fast secondary.” – Conor Orr, Sports Illustrated
The Browns can grab a second win in a row during Week 7 when they travel to play the Indianapolis Colts. Indianapolis is coming off a 37-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and is 3-3 on the season. Gardner Minshew is starting at quarterback in place of Anthony Richardson, who is likely to miss the season.
