A Christian McCaffrey-less San Francisco 49ers team saw Jordan Mason, his backup, lead the way in the run game as they took down the New York Jets, 32-19, on Monday night.
The San Francisco 49ers shockingly saw Christian McCaffrey, their star running back, inactive on Monday night against the New York Jets. But his backup, Jordan Mason, did not disappoint in his first career start, as he helped lead his squad to a 32-19 win to start off the season on the right foot.
In fact, it was Samuel a few plays later who took a jet sweep and ran it in from two yards out – just one play after Mason took it 11 yards to the Jets’ doorstep. Mason would finally see that touchdown count on the team’s second-half opening drive, an 11-play, 70-yard masterpiece where he bust it in from five yards out.
