The Cleveland Browns knocked off the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6 of the 2023 NFL season. With QB Deshaun Watson, RB Nick Chubb and offensive linemen Joel Bitonio and Jack Conklin all out, the Browns once again rode their defense, and a few timely mistakes by the 49ers, to a huge upset.
After Week 6, Cleveland is squarely in the 2023 AFC playoff picture.
While a national analyst might believe the Browns offense is “very well coached,” it is clear that the team is led by Jim Schwartz’s unit.
