Just recently, Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets lost to a San Francisco 49ers team without running back Christian McCaffrey in it. This led sports analyst Skip Bayless to drop a harsh reality check on the former Green Bay Packers star for his subpar performance on the field.
In a surprising turn of events, the 49ers dominated the Jets with a score of 32-19 despite the absence of McCaffrey, who was sidelined with a calf injury. Stepping up in his place, Jordan Mason delivered an impressive performance, rushing for 147 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries during his first NFL start.
Mason’s outstanding play was complemented by contributions from teammates, including Deebo Samuel and George Kittle, while quarterback Brock Purdy found his rhythm after a slow start. Purdy connected with fullback Kyle Juszczyk for a crucial 34-yard catch that helped set up Mason’s touchdown, effectively turning the tide of the game.
The 49ers’ offense showcased its depth, scoring on eight consecutive possessions after an initial punt. Meanwhile, their defense stifled Rodgers, who struggled to regain form after returning from a long injury layoff. Despite a promising start for the Jets, they were unable to keep pace with the 49ers’ relentless attack.
This game highlighted the 49ers’ ability to thrive even when missing key players, demonstrating their depth and resilience. With their strong showing, the 49ers are positioned as serious contenders this season, raising anticipation for how dominant they can be once McCaffrey returns to the lineup.

Bayless questioned Rodgers’ commitment, suggesting that New York appeared “rotten” and lacked the necessary drive. He emphasized that the Jets, despite their hopes for a strong season with Rodgers, need to reassess their approach to avoid further setbacks and ensure they can compete effectively in the league.
Even with all the talent around Rodgers, Bayless predicted that the Jets will miss the playoffs this season. In any case, NFL fans must keep an eye on this team to see if they can change the narrative around them or just flounder in the coming months.
