First Half 

The 49ers absolutely dominated the first half in every aspect of the game. Baker Mayfield was seven-for-16 in the first half with two interceptions and a couple of missed opportunities. The defensive front for the 49ers was pressuring Mayfield on every play, especially in the red zone.

Following a Browns punt, the 49ers struck first on their first offensive play with an 83-yard run for a touchdown by Matt Breida. The first play of the next drive was an interception by the 49ers’ Richard Sherman.

With 6:30 remaining in the first quarter, Jimmy Garoppolo found Matt Breida for his second touchdown to take a 14-0 lead.

Baker Mayfield had a first-and-goal opportunity in the second quarter, but failed to get into the end zone, finishing the drive with just a field goal.
