Five games into their 2023 season, the San Francisco 49ers are off to a very impressive start, as they have yet to suffer a loss.
Most recently, the 49ers demolished the Dallas Cowboys by a final score of 42-10, which has led to San Francisco being viewed by many as the top team in the NFC at this point in the season.
When will the 49ers end up suffering their first loss this year?
Well, FS1’s Craig Carton recently shared that he believes San Francisco has the talent to remain undefeated for the entire 2023 season, including the playoffs.

Considering it has never been done before in the history of the NFL, the 49ers finishing the 2023 season with a perfect 20-0 record would be quite the accomplishment.
However, there’s a decent chance that San Francisco isn’t able to escape their upcoming Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns without adding a loss to their record.
The Browns arguably have the best defense in the league this season, as they currently rank first in the NFL in points allowed per drive, first in passing yards allowed, and fourth in rushing yards allowed.
Cleveland has also had extra time to prepare for this contest, as they just had their bye in Week 5, and they should be able to benefit from the matchup taking place inside their home stadium.
In terms of environment and the skill of the opposition, this Week 6 game against the Browns is shaping up to be one of the 49ers’ toughest matchups of the season.
Of course, many thought that about San Francisco’s game against the Cowboys last week, and look how that turned out.
