Mac Jones Downplays Viral Banana Clip After Fill-In Win for 49ers

The clarification refocuses questions on his status in Brock Purdy’s absence.

Overview

  • Jones threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns on Thursday night as San Francisco beat the Los Angeles Rams.
  • Prime Video showed him eating a banana with 2:52 left, and Al Michaels said he had consumed about 11 during the game.
  • Postgame, Jones disputed that figure and said he thinks he ate three.
  • He was treating cramping on the sideline and was also dealing with a lingering knee issue.
  • Starter Brock Purdy is recovering from turf toe, leaving Jones’ role tied to Purdy’s availability.
