These are two physical teams who like to impose their will on opponents, especially on the defensive side of the ball, and bring that energy for a full 60 minutes. However, this week, it’ll be a little more than 60 minutes as the teams couldn’t wait to square off.

Even if coaches and staff may not like it too much, there is nothing quite like a little pregame skirmish to get the juices flowing. And the fans in attendance surely are excited for the preview they got and are ready for the action that lies ahead.
If Nothing Else, It’s Going To Be a Slugfest
As they sit at 5-0 after a dismantling of the Dallas Cowboys last week on Sunday Night Football, the 49ers look to be the best team in the NFL right now.
Meanwhile, the Browns are 2-2 at the moment and hope to get over .500 and make a statement against a really talented and well-coached 49ers team.
