Brock Purdy isn’t having his best game. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback threw his first interception of the season in what has been a lackluster team effort against the Cleveland Browns. The pick came in the third quarter, with the game tied 10-10. Purdy had not thrown an interception in his previous 248 pass attempts, the second-longest streak in franchise history. Only Alex Smith has thrown more consecutive pass attempts (317) without an interception. The 49ers entered the game as 9.5-point favorites over the Browns but are struggling to pull away from the home team. Nobody’s perfect. Did you find a mistake in this article?Report it.
