VIDEO: 49ers' Matt Breida Explodes for 83-Yard TD on Single Fastest Run of NFL Season
By Michael Luciano
The San Francisco 49ers have come out swinging on Monday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns, as they didn't even wait one play before breaking a long touchdown run and taking a 7-0 lead. Running back Matt Breida took one 83 yards to the house while setting a new season-high for ball carrier speed.

Baker Mayfield followed this up with an interception, so this has been just about as bad a start as humanly possible for the Browns.
.@MattBreida's 83-yard rushing touchdown is tied for the 5th-longest rush TD in @49ers history and is the longest since Colin Kaepernick's 90-yarder in Week 16, 2014 vs the Chargers.#MondayNightFootball | #SFvsCLE

Breida managing to hit 22.3 miles per hour on this run -- remember, the dude is wearing a helmet and full pads! -- sure ain't bad for an undrafted kid out of Georgia Southern. Not bad at all.
