In Jordan Mason's defense, they overloaded the blitz with five guys. The 49ers had three offensive linemen and a back, and they brought five guys.
That's on Brock Purdy, and that's on Kyle Shanahan. He has to see that, he has to get rid of the football, or he has to avoid him.
Mason picks up the defender with the shortest path to the quarterback, which is a cardinal rule in pass protection at any level of football.
Mason's fourth-quarter fumble was a crucial mistake in the 49ers' second-half collapse, but he shouldn't be blamed for the final offensive play.
