49ers’ loss to Browns means little in the big picture … if injury report is favorable
Sunday will be remembered as the day Brock Purdy returned to earth and the 49ers were suddenly exposed as vulnerable, as opposed to a buttoned-up powerhouse headed toward a seemingly inevitable sixth Lombardi Trophy. Or maybe a 19-17 road loss to the Cleveland Browns will be forgotten as easily as a Week 6 loss a…

Kurtenbach: The 49ers’ woeful loss to Cleveland is a necessary gut check for Purdy, Shanahan
The 49ers almost escaped Cleveland with a win. It’s probably better they didn’t. What lesson would this team learn from an undeserved victory?

Instant analysis: 49ers lose first game of season, 19-17 to Browns
CLEVELAND – The 49ers were denied a franchise-record 16th straight regular-season win Sunday, no matter how close they came to rallying past the Browns.

Local books: Budding author blooms with “The Weight of Flowers”
Things didn’t line up for D.K. Silver. Asking numbers to add up was unrealistic. She appreciated the artistry of the alphabet, as she drew their shapes in cursive longhand across the page. But expecting letters to gather into words was unlikely. Dyslexia will do that, wreaking havoc among those trying to make something of math…
