Monday Night Football: Browns vs. 49ers game time, live stream, TV channel, odds
The Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers will bring Week 5 to a close on Monday night.
This is the third time this season that the Browns are playing in a prime-time game.
The Browns are coming off a 40-25 win over the division rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, while the 49ers were on a bye last week.
Both teams are looking for a turnaround season after a rough go of it lately. From 2015-18, the Browns — 11-52-1 — and 49ers — 17-47 — have the NFL's worst records in that timespan. Entering Week 5, the Browns were tied for first place in AFC North for first time since Week 10 in 2014. The 49ers, meanwhile, are seeking their first 4-0 start since 1990.
Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has thrown a touchdown pass in his first 17 NFL starts, second to Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner's 23-game streak. Jimmy Garoppolo has won all four of his home starts with the 49ers.
