53. 49ers-Browns final. 26. 42. Final. 8
There were lots of reasons to be cheerful about the San Francisco 49ers' Sunday win over the Cleveland Browns.
It continued the Niners' recent winning streak (lifting the record to 9-4) while, coupled with results from elsewhere, raised their chances of qualifying for this year's playoffs.
It was also a gritty win in challenging conditions for a young and improving team under head coach Kyle Shanahan, who has certainly gotten the most out of a banged-up and injury-depleted squad this season. It'd be hard not to smile after that.
