The Cleveland Browns enter Week 6 up against it as they face off against the undefeated San Francisco 49ers.
The Browns are once again without Deshaun Watson who remains out with a shoulder injury, leaving the team to roll out P.J. Walker as their starter.
However, so far Cleveland has been able to hang with San Francisco as they went into halftime only down 10-7.
Walker found Amari Cooper in the second quarter for an explosive play that set up a Kareem Hunt touchdown.
Aside from the score, the Browns’ defense has held up their end of the bargain as they’ve been able to slow down the 49ers passing attack.
Myles Garrett is putting on another strong effort and had fans buzzing on Twitter when he tossed around Trent Williams.

Garrett’s had a monstrous year off the edge again and is in the running for this year’s NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
The All-Pro can be seen getting off quickly off the line of scrimmage and when he runs into Trent Williams he simply uses his arm strength to push him aside in order to get pressure on Brock Purdy.
Cleveland’s defense as a whole has arguably been the best in the league and it’s shown up again against San Francisco who has multiple explosive weapons at their disposal.
Fortunately for the Browns, Deebo Samuel was ruled out for the remainder of the game due to a shoulder injury which could give Garrett more pass-rushing opportunities late in the game.
