SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The Cleveland Browns were humiliated, humbled and, ultimately, hammered on Monday Night Football in a wholly hapless showing in San Francisco. The San Francisco 49ers rolled 31-3, effectively putting the Browns away on the first series of the second half with an appropriately overpowering 90-yard touchdown drive.
Last Sunday, it seemed as if the Browns had finally turned a corner following an impressive victory over AFC North rival Baltimore. Instead, Cleveland returned to looking completely discombobulated Monday, with a series of bumbling miscues.
During their infamous 0-16 season in 2017, the Browns trailed by 25 or more points only twice the whole year.
