The Niners went into Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns as one of two undefeated teams remaining in the NFL. And we saw almost immediately the kind of confidence the Niners had even during warmups.
They didn’t need the game to start for us to see some fireworks in Cleveland.
Video from before the game showed Niners receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel jawing with Browns players and eventually throwing some shoves at safety Juan Thornhill. That could have set off a bigger incident or a full-out brawl. But that apparently wasn’t happening on Niners offensive lineman Trent Williams’ watch.

The moment the 6-foot-5, 320-pound Williams got involved with the scuffle, nobody on the Browns seemed especially interested in taking the altercation any further. There was one shove after that, but the scene cleared out quickly. After all, that is one large human.
Still, the scene of Williams being willing to take on an entire NFL team by himself had fans making plenty of jokes.
