(AP) — Brock Purdy rushed for a touchdown and passed for another score in the second half, and the San Francisco 49ers spoiled Shedeur Sanders’ first home start by defeating the Cleveland Browns 26-8 on Sunday.

Cleveland took an 8-7 lead late in the second quarter when Sanders hooked up with Harold Fannin for a 34-yard touchdown and Quinshon Judkins' run added the 2-point conversion. But San Francisco (9-4) scored the next 19 points in its third consecutive win.

All three of San Francisco's touchdowns came on short fields — two the result of recovering turnovers and another after a 66-yard punt return by Skyy Moore.

Purdy completed 16 of 29 for 168 yards. He ran it in on a 2-yard keeper in the third quarter and then had a 7-yard TD pass to Jauan Jennings in the fourth quarter.
