Week 13 arrives with a notable scheduling twist. The NFL officially adjusted the timing of the 49ers–Browns matchup due to broadcast conflicts tied to the league’s expanded
Thanksgiving Week celebration programming, pushing Cleveland’s home game into a rare Thanksgiving weekend slot on November 30.

The shift creates a massive stage for an NFC West contender facing a struggling AFC North foe — the 49ers at 8–4 and the Browns at 3–8, with San Francisco fighting to bolster playoff positioning and Cleveland seeking to play spoiler under national lights.

GAME INFO
Matchup. San Francisco 49ers (8–4) at Cleveland Browns (3–8)
Venue. Huntington Bank Field — Cleveland, Ohio
Kickoff. 1:00 p.m. ET

San Francisco enters with momentum and a push for the playoffs. Mac Jones
controls the offense with discipline and vertical confidence, supported by the bruising versatility of Christian McCaffrey. The receiving group remains one of the NFL’s most dangerous: Brandon Aiyuk,

Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall, and tight end George Kittle consistently stress coverages at every layer.
Defensively, the 49ers rely on trench dominance. Javon Hargrave and Fred Warner collapse interiors, enabling
Nick Bosa and Leonard Floyd to isolate matchups off the edge. In the secondary, Deommodore Lenoir pairs with Talanoa Hufanga to stabilize the deep field, while cornerbacks Charvarius Ward
and Renardo Green continue to grow into one of the league’s most versatile young duos.
Cleveland brings a challenging but inconsistent threat amid a tough season, with numerous injuries impacting the roster.\
Shedeur Sanders leads an offense defined by improvisation, arm talent, and growing command. RB
Jerome Ford adds dynamic speed, while Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore, and TE David Njoku create structured reliability in the passing game.
Defensively, the Browns play fast and physical but have been hampered by injuries and inconsistencies.
Myles Garrett and Za’Darius Smith drive the front, LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and Jordan Hicks provide range and discipline, and a confident secondary — Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome II,
Martin Emerson Jr. — continues to play with swagger.
