"PASS OFFENSE: A Mac Jones won for the third time in as many starts in place of Brock Purdy, throwing for 342 yards with two touchdown passes, no interceptions, no fumbles, no Ricky Pearsall, no Jauan Jennings, no George Kittle and no Brandon Aiyuk. No kidding. Kendrick Bourne, after Sunday's three-drop fiasco, was Jones' favorite target (10 catches, 142 yards, one drop)."
"PASS DEFENSE: C- The 49ers went a franchise-record 12th straight game without an interception, and they gave up 389 yards and three touchdowns to Matthew Stafford. But they made some clutch plays. Deommodore Lenoir was called three times for holding, but he made a couple pass breakups deep in 49ers territory late in the game. Bryce Huff had the lone sack on Stafford, and the only other hit on him came by Alfred Collins."
The 49ers beat the Rams 26-23 in overtime with Mac Jones throwing for 342 yards and two touchdowns in his third start replacing Brock Purdy. Kendrick Bourne finished as Jones' top target with 10 catches for 142 yards. Jones overcame a left-knee aggravation and helped set up a 59-yard, go-ahead field goal late in regulation before the overtime drive. Christian McCaffrey averaged a season-low 2.6 yards per carry (57 yards on 22 carries), while the Rams' defensive front proved formidable. The 49ers' pass defense yielded 389 yards and three touchdowns but made key plays, and the run defense produced a fourth-and-1 stop to end overtime.
