Brock Purdy's undefeated streak in regular season play has officially come to an end.

On Sunday the 49ers lost in painful fashion on the road against the Browns, with Cleveland mounting a fourth quarter comeback and San Francisco missing a potential game-winning field goal attempt with just seconds to play.

The 49ers jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first half, but the Browns fought their way back into the game. In the fourth quarter, Cleveland managed two field goal drives in the final four minutes of play to take a 19-17 lead with less than two minutes left on the clock.

Purdy drove the 49ers into field goal range, but kicker Jake Moody pushed his 41-yard attempt wide.

NFL fans following the action online made their feelings known after the game went final.
