CLEVELAND – (Wire Service Report) – Browns PK Dustin Hopkins kicked a go-ahead, 29-yard field goal with 1:40 left in the game and the host Cleveland spoiled the San Francisco 49ers’ chance at a perfect season with a 19-17 victory on Sunday afternoon.
Jake Moody had a golden opportunity to provide San Francisco (5-1) with the win, but he missed a 41-yard field-goal attempt wide right.
