RecapMac Jones completed 27-of-39 passes for 347 yards and two interceptions in the 49ers’ 30-19, Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers.
Laboring notably at points while dealing with his knee and oblique injuries, Jones posted respectable passing totals but threw a back-breaking interception in the fourth quarter that it looked like he didn’t even attempt to read out. His first pick, in the first quarter, was nearly a pick-six but Tampa Bay’s Kindle Vildor got caught by the turf monster twice on the return. Kyle Shanahan is working magic every week to get a banged-up Jones to throw for as much yardage as he has, but it’s clear that Jones is struggling when the easy buttons go away. A Sunday Night Football matchup against the rejuvenated (for now) Falcons pass defense would seem to be a QB2 spot for Jones.
