The 49ers had 253 yards at halftime. Frank Gore rushed for 103 yards, and Alex Smith completed 10 of 13 passes for 108 yards.It's not that the 49ers got conservative in the second half. They just didn't play as well. Smith had a chance to have a big second half. But he was off-target on some of his throws, including what would've been a big gainer to Michael Crabtree.It was a sloppy second half, which opened with receiver Braylon Edwards stepping out of bounds before receiving a short pass from Smith.The 49ers managed one first down on their first five possessions of the second half. But even when the offense looks horrible, the 49ers have rarely turned the ball over. On Sunday, it was another turnover-free day for the offense.
Here's a player-by-player look at the 49ers' offensive performances from their 20-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday:Quarterback
