The interception, which landed in the arms of Niners safety Jaquiski Tartt, was one of Manziel’s few blatant gaffes on a day that saw him guide the Browns to their first win since Week 5. The Browns were able to run the ball with great success, netting 230 yards on the ground versus the 49ers defense.

UK’s prime minister to visit flooded areas as rains subside
West Yorkshire Police declared a major incident after responding to what it said was the “worst flooding in 70 years” in the area. Troops spent the day stacking sandbags but the flooding was so bad the council ran out and begged nearby councils for help.
The biggest issue for the 49ers defense proved to be stopping the run. That’s what happened for Crowell Sunday as he had 145 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. In the receiving end, Tyler Lockette had 104 yards and two touchdowns in six receptions while Dough Baldwin added 82 ayrds and three touchdowns in six receptions.
Hiddink sets big goals for Chelsea
Chelsea have Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao in reserve to fill the void up front but speaking after Saturday’s draw, Hiddink admitted he is still to make a decision on who will play.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel. He passed for 270 yards, delivering a quality performance the Browns desperately needed.
Isolated showers, storms through Sunday; stronger storms
Our highs are expected to climb into the mid to upper 60s, provided the sunshine does come out for a little this afternoon . IMPACTS: I think our primary concern with any strong storm will be damaging straight-line wind gusts and hail.
The 49ers offensive line, which had been better with Blaine Gabbert under center in recent weeks, couldn’t block a soul Sunday. They’ve given up an average of almost 400 yards and 30 points a game in 2015, putting them behind even the 49ers, who have struggled mightily at times this season.
Johnny had expressed remorse prior to the season about how his on-the-field antics and off-the-field discretions were constant problems Manziel and his teammates dealt with during his rookie season.
Browns defensive lineman Desmond Bryant, who had 11/2 sacks, said Cleveland had a plan for containing the mobile Gabbert. Crowell is the first Browns back with at least 140 yards rushing since Peyton Hillis ran for 184 against New England in 2010….
NOTES: RB Shaun Draughn started for 49ers rushing leader Carlos Hyde….
The energy and effort seemed to be that of a team playing for a playoff spot. “I’m going to play fast, and at the end of the day, I’m going to be there with my teammates”.
The Browns are a woeful team. Was it the fact everyone was not auditioning for a job in 2016?
As a video tribute of his years with the Browns played on the stadium’s scoreboards, Phil Dawson patted his hand over his heart and choked back tears. The unit held the 49ers offense to just 221 yards of total offense.
The 49ers allowed nine sacks and managed just 127 yards on offence before a 94-yard drive in garbage time. Pettine has a record of 9-19 as the head coach in Cleveland, and the Browns have not posted a winning record since 2007 under head coach Romeo Crennel. And the front office is about as unsecure as a Microsoft Surface Pro is around Manziel after a pick.
