While DE Myles Garrett pulled one sack closer to the NFL single-season sack record and QB Shedeur Sanders threw his second career passing touchdown, the Browns fell to the 49ers in Week 13.
Cleveland lost 26-8 to San Francisco for its ninth loss of the season. The Browns allowed the 49ers to start drives with good field position and couldn't respond to their scoring drives, leading to the fourth home loss.
Here are 10 key numbers from the Week 13 matchup.
1 – Garrett recorded one sack against the 49ers. With 14:20 left in the fourth quarter and San Francisco facing a third-and-4, Garrett used a swim move to beat his blocker and brought down 49ers QB Brock Purdy to force a fourth down. The sack was Garrett's 19th this season, putting him four sacks away from breaking the NFL single-season sack record.
2 – The Browns had two turnovers, both of which set up San Francisco in Cleveland territory. The Browns' first turnover came on fourth-and-1 at their own 33-yard line, down 10-8 in the third quarter. The Browns snapped directly to TE Harold Fannin Jr., but he fumbled the snap and 49ers LB Luke Gifford recovered the ball at the 32-yard line. The 49ers scored on the possession, taking a 17-8 lead. The second turnover came in the fourth quarter when WR Gage Larvadain muffed a punt and San Francisco recovered the ball at the 18-yard line.

TE Blake Whiteheart tracked down Moore and stopped him from scoring.
