Mac Jones Lifts 49ers to OT Win at Rams as Purdy’s Status Stays Uncertain

San Francisco enters Week 6 with quarterback availability in flux after Brock Purdy aggravated his turf toe.

Overview

  • Jones completed 33 of 49 passes for 342 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 26-23 overtime victory at SoFi Stadium.
  • The 49ers are 4-1 and alone atop the NFC West, with Jones 3-0 as a starter and at 905 yards and six touchdown passes across those three games.
  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan praised Jones’ toughness and ball security, saying, “He played his ass off” and was “unbelievable in the first half.”
  • Purdy is listed as week to week after aggravating his turf toe, and Jones played through a knee/PCL issue and forearm cramping, leaving the Week 6 starter at Tampa Bay dependent on health updates.
  • Short-handed on offense and defense, San Francisco leaned on Kendrick Bourne’s 10 catches for 142 yards and Eddy Piñeiro’s 4-for-4 night, including a 59-yarder and the overtime winner.
