Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 01:26:53 GMT

CLEVELAND – Here is how the 49ers (5-1) graded in Sunday’s 19-17 loss at the Cleveland Browns (3-2):PASS OFFENSE: DBrock Purdy battled through a career-worst passing day before piecing together a potential game-winning drive in the final 100 seconds.

George Kittle barely kept alive his streak of a catch in every game of his career with a 1-yard reception on two targets.RUN OFFENSE: DChristian McCaffrey busted loose for a 27-yard run on his first carry, but he managed 16 yards on his next 10 carries combined and left in the third quarter with oblique/rib injuries.

TOKYO (AP) — Jordan Thompson upset ninth-ranked Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-4 in the opening round of the Japan Open on Monday for his second win over a top-10 opponent this season.The 29-year-old Australian saved four of the five break points he faced to claim his first career win over Zverev after losing their only previous meeting six years ago.
