Overview
- The veteran wideout caught 10 of 11 targets for a career-best 142 yards in San Francisco’s 26-23 overtime upset at SoFi Stadium.
- His expanded role followed a depleted receiver group with Brandon Aiyuk on PUP, Jacob Cowing and Trent Taylor on IR, and Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall and Jordan Watkins inactive.
- Mac Jones, starting in place of Brock Purdy, improved to 3-0 and earned praise for battling through leg pain while leaning on his former Patriots teammate.
- Recent additions shaped the depth chart, with Bourne joined by Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore after a run of preseason and early-season injuries.
- Eddy Piñeiro went 4-for-4 on field goals, drilling a career-long 59-yarder in regulation and the 41-yard overtime winner, and is 11-for-11 since signing to replace Jake Moody.
