The 9ers OL collapsed with false starts, holding, etc. The rain was also a factor, with Brock losing the ball and not having a seemingly good enough grip on a few passes (incl the INT).
49ers game physically dominated. Which you do not see very often. More than anything else that was the reason they lost that game.
They looked great on the first drive and pretty good on the second. Caught bits and pieces of the middle part. Officiating didn't help them, at all. The no fumble, intentional grounding call especially. While it was close, what no one seemed to noticed is the he released the ball right on the yard marker, and it landed about a yard behind it. While his arm went forward, the ball went backwards. . . .
Agree that the line hurt them. Badly.
Niners were lucky to be close. They were physically dominated. Lost badly at LOS. Browns 334-213 in yards. Only thing that kept it close was the poor play of a third string QB.
