"Your San Francisco 49ers lost quarterback Brock Purdy to shoulder and toe injuries last week, and that's in addition to also losing tight end George Kittle and receiver Brandon Aiyuk to injuries. So it sounds like it's going to be tough sledding for them in the month of September. But then have you seen the 49ers schedule for the month of September? They are blessed with having some pretty dreadful opponents to start the season."
"Former New England Patriots flame-out and now backup 49ers QB Mac Jones got the nod, and did not inspire confidence as he bumbled to an 0-4 passing start Sunday. But Jones threw seven straight completions after that hapless 0-4 start, and ended the day with a pretty impressive stat line of 26-39 for 279 yards passing, three touchdowns, and a 113.1 QB rating. That is good enough to beat the New Orleans Saints."
Mac Jones started as the 49ers' backup quarterback and led San Francisco to a 26-21 victory over the New Orleans Saints. The team entered the game missing Brock Purdy (shoulder and toe), tight end George Kittle, and receiver Brandon Aiyuk. The 49ers face an easier September schedule with several weak opponents at the start of the season. Jones began 0-for-4 passing but then completed seven consecutive passes and finished 26-of-39 for 279 yards, three touchdowns, and a 113.1 rating. A 15-yard pass to Ricky Pearsall and an 11-yard touchdown to Luke Farrell highlighted a key drive. Kicking issues continued as Eddy Pineiro missed an extra point before converting two field goals.
