Browns vs. 49ers: 5 things I think about this big MNF game — Mary Kay Cabot, Cleveland.com
"“In his last start against the Steelers, a 24-20 victory, he threw two picks and lost two fumbles. The 49ers won largely because the Steelers, with a first-time starter that week in Mason Rudolph, couldn’t cash in on those takeaways, scoring only two field goals off them.But those picks and fumbles haven’t been lost on the Browns, who will aim to pressure Garoppolo into mistakes.”"
While Garoppolo does have a winning record as a starter in his career, he does have a tendency to turn the ball over. Cleveland’s defense has been opportunistic all season, and they should be once again.

"“3. Rely on your runThis point should be expected after Nick Chubb ripped off 165 yards and three touchdowns on the ground as part of a 530-yard, 40-point offensive effort. Things are a lot easier when you can run the ball effectively.”"
We skipped straight to No. 3 here because it’s the most important. Nick Chubb is Cleveland’s best bet to get the win. He’s a workhorse back capable of setting the tone and they should allow him to do just that.
