Mac Jones has been playing quite well in relief of Brock Purdy for the 49ers and on Sunday traveled across the country to New York to take on the Giants. He stayed in a groove in the first half of the game—but was left with quite a nosebleed after taking a shot to the face.
Jones completed all 14 of his passes in the first half and got San Francisco out to a 14-7 lead. Late in second quarter the Niners had the ball again and were trying to extend the lead. Jones dropped back to pass but got sacked by New York’s Rakeem Nunez-Roches. When Jones popped back up the CBS cameras revealed he was bleeding profusely; replay showed the quarterback took an inadvertent shot to the face while attempting to navigate the pocket before getting taken down.
