One of Jones' favorite targets last week was Kendrick Bourne, who was his teammate on the New England Patriots from 2021 to 2023. Bourne said he noticed a difference between Jones the Patriot and Jones the 49er.

Playing with a very depleted supporting cast, the former Patriots quarterback went 33-of-49 for 342 yards, tossing a pair of touchdown passes and with no turnovers. Jones also took a beating, but hung in the pocket to help lift San Francisco to a 26-23 overtime victory.

Not only were the 49ers missing Purdy, Nick Bosa (who is out for the season with a torn ACL) and star tight end George Kittle (who landed on injured reserve after Week 1), but also wide receivers Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings.

Legendary coach Nick Saban believes Mac Jones is finally in a good situation with Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers.

It was a group chat with Douglas, Tyquan Thornton and JuJu Smith-Schuster, now with the Kansas City Chiefs, all joining in to congratulate Bourne, who starred in the Niners 26-23 win catching 10 passes from Jones for a career-high 142 receiving yards.

Amid Mac Jones' knee injury during the San Francisco 49ers' game against the Los Angeles Rams, here's a look into his biggest support system, his girlfriend, Sophie Scott.

Jones, a former Patriots first-round draft pick, was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024. He then went on to sign a two-year deal with the 49ers in 2025.
