(Photo by Ian Maule\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The conditions may not have been ideal, but the San Francisco 49ers still had no issues disposing of a pesky Browns team on the road in the Cleveland. Despite strong winds and a brisk temperature (true football weather, if you ask some) the Niners cruised to a 26-8 win in QB Brock Purdy\u2019s second game back from a toe injury that sidelined him for most of the season.<\/p>\n<p>One of the heroes for the 49ers was veteran ED Clelin Ferrell. The former No. 4 overall pick out of Clemson back in 2019 by the Raiders, Ferrell previously spent a season in San Francisco back in 2023. After bouncing around the league a bit since, Ferrell started this season with the Chargers and joined the 49ers midseason, making appearances in the last four games.<\/p>\n<p>Against the Browns, Ferrell led the team with nine tackles and a pair of sacks, leading Niners HC Kyle Shanahan to say this about him after the game:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s done a hell of a job,\u201d. I mean we loved having [Ferrell] here a couple years ago when we had him. Since his first stint here he\u2019s been the same guy, he\u2019s given us a lot of juice when we\u2019ve been down.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>San Francisco 49ers ED Clelin Ferrell on Making an Impact and the Defensive Gameplan<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5633347\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GettyImages-2244660680-e1764548946875.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"49ers HC Kyle Shanahan Shouts Out Huge Defensive Addition After Browns Win\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5633347\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5633347\">Sarah Stier\/GettyEAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY \u2013 NOVEMBER 02: Clelin Ferrell #96 of the San Francisco 49ers reacts after a sack against the New York Giants during the first half in the game at MetLife Stadium on November 02, 2025 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Sarah Stier\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI think for me it\u2019s just not taking it for granted,\u201d Ferrell said after the game about what it means to him to be back making an impact for the 49ers. \u201cWhen I came back, this team was right in the thick of it. And at the end of the day, the biggest reason why I came back here was because I wanted to win. I\u2019m just thankful for my teammates, coaches, everyone in the building just helping me get prepared and be ready for the moment. So it was good. It was good. I\u2019m excited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s mostly gets back to just stopping the run,\u201d Ferrell continued, discussing the defensive gameplan against the Browns. \u201cThey obviously have a talented young quarterback [in rookie Shedeur Sanders], but you know, he\u2019s very fresh. So we knew that maybe the playbook wasn\u2019t going to be as big, and this is a cold environment, lot of wind. So we knew they were gonna come out and try and run the ball, with a good back. [Quinshon Judkins] is a good back. So once we got that under control, we were able to really put some pressure on them.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The San Francisco 49ers are in Prime Playoff Position<\/h2>\n<p>It was a great day for the 49ers, and not just because of their win over the Browns. Now at 9-4, San Francisco has a game and a half lead over the Lions for the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs with five weeks to go.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers have their bye week next, but coming out of that they\u2019ll play the Titans, Colts, Bears, and Seahawks. Those last three in particular are very tough games, but even going 2-2 down the stretch might be enough to sneak into the playoffs \u2014 which would be a major accomplishment in this injury-riddled season.<\/p>\n<p>Ethan Woodie is an accomplished sports writer specializing in the NFL and college football for Heavy.com.
