US Edition49ers QB Mac Jones Saw a Floating Dead Body Before ‘TNF’ Win
Mac Jones maintained focus after spotting a deceased person before the game and completed 342 yards with two touchdowns to lead the 49ers to a 26-23 overtime win.
- On Thursday, October 2, Mac Jones, San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback, told teammates he saw a body floating from his Marina del Rey hotel balcony, Russini wrote.
- As the 49ers loaded buses, investigators and a coroner's van arrived at the marina at Marina del Rey, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the incident remained under investigation Friday afternoon.
- Jones completed 33 of 49 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns, battling injuries and cramping in one of his best games, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said.
- The 49ers say Jones was signed as backup and Purdy is expected to return when healthy, though Purdy remains week-to-week with turf toe and his Oct. 12 availability is unclear.
- Jones, who signed a two-year deal earlier this year, has helped the 49ers reach a 4-1 overall and 3-0 divisional record, with a 66.30% completion rate through three starts.
