49ers rout Cowboys and Browns coach assesses next season
The 49ers dominated the Cowboys 31-10 with White throwing for 277 yards and a touchdown before leaving after an interception return for a score. Stuckey praised a return to championship form as the defense set the tone. Browns coach Rutigliano emphasized reloading rather than rebuilding after a physical win, noting six sacks, two picks, and a 64 yard pass to Rocky Belk. An ankle dislocation ended guard Robert Jackson’s day.
