The Cleveland Browns are taking on the undefeated San Francisco 49ers today shorthanded. Not only will veteran practice squad quarterback P.J. Walker be starting this game as Deshaun Watson rests his shoulder for the third week and second straight game, but All-Pro guard Joel Bitonio’s streak of 102 consecutive games has also ended.
They enter this matchup from a loss to the Baltimore Ravens, now sitting at 2-2. The 49ers are coming off a beatdown on national television of the Dallas Cowboys, now sitting at 5-0 on the season. The Browns have not had a good, old-fashioned ugly win in quite some time, and this would be a lovely week to pull one out of the hat. Can Walker and the Browns shock the world against a perceived juggernaut through the first quarter of the season?
Here is everything you need to know on how to watch, listen, stream, wager, and more on this matchup between the 2-2 Browns and the 5-0 49ers.
