Mac Jones Leads 49ers to Overtime Win, Clarifies Backup Role Over Injured Brock Purdy
San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones delivered a standout performance against the Los Angeles Rams, throwing for 342 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-23 overtime win, improving the team's record to 4-1. Despite this strong showing and calls from fans for Jones to become the full-time starter, he emphasized that Brock Purdy remains the team's starter, acknowledging Purdy's leadership and injuries. Jones, who played through a sprained knee and forearm cramping, has been praised by teammates and coaches for his leadership and resilience, while his wife Sydney Warner also showed public support. The 49ers are currently dealing with multiple injuries to key players, including Purdy's turf toe, which has sidelined him for several weeks. Head coach Kyle Shanahan appears committed to Purdy when healthy, but Jones' consistent performance as a starter has sparked debate about the quarterback position moving forward. Jones remains focused on winning games to support the team, reinforcing his role as a backup ready to contribute when needed.
