Summary

The 49ers, on Sunday, notched their first three-game winning streak since the opening three weeks of the season and won in Cleveland for the first time since Nov. 1984. The 49ers' latest win was exhibition in execution from the kickoff as they played complimentary football in all three phases. Brock Purdy played errorless football with excellent decision-making, while extending plays when needed. The special teams group bolstered the 49ers' field-position on returns and made timely kicks when needed, while the defense has been humming the last few weeks, creating turnovers and finally adding an element of pressure from the D-line that spurred San Francisco to victory. On this episode of '49ers Talk,' co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down San Francisco's decisive 26-8 road win over the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field. From Brock Purdy's bounce-back performance following a mistake-filled game, to special teams and defensive units flourishing, to a coach committed to his preparation and scheme in what might be his best coaching season for the Faithful, Matt and Jennifer detail a team finding health and success in time for a much-needed break during their Week 14 bye week.
