By the Numbers

San Francisco enters Week 14 dead last in both points scored (178) and all-purpose yards (3,541). But Cleveland hasn’t exactly torn up the stat sheet either.

The Browns boast a No. 30 offense with 216 points and just 3,969 total yards — good for 26th in the league.

And Cleveland’s offense has also had its share of woes through the air and on the ground.

Moving the ball on the ground has not been one of the Browns’ strengths this season. So the 49ers defense will likely focus more on generating a pass rush and containing Cleveland’s aerial attack over the course of the game.

Similarly, the Browns have some defensive weaknesses that play right into the 49ers’ hands.

The Browns’ biggest weakness is against the run. Although it’s safe to say Cleveland has plenty of weaknesses.

But so do the 49ers. Which team gets the edge on Sunday?
