When the San Francisco 49ers kicked off their 2025-26 campaign, most fans expected a successful campaign. And with a 3-1 win-loss start, one can say that the team is yet to disappoint.
What one didn’t anticipate, however, was Mac Jones jumping into action and stealing the show.
NFL Fans Hype Mac Jones as the Flexes In Front of a Los Angeles Rams Player
With Brock Purdy injured (toe) and sidelined for Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams, the 49ers started Mac Jones.
Jones — a five-year NFL veteran — made sure to step up for his team by completing 15 of 23 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. The 49ers also led the Rams in total plays (41-23) and total yards (233-137).
What caught fans’ attention, though, was Jones flexing while enjoying himself on the field.
Of course, some fans just celebrated how Jones has regained his swagger. In fact, many could see that he is actively enjoying himself on the field again.
“He’s him,” a user said.

“Will Mac Jones take Brock Purdy’s job?” one fan echoed.
While Purdy might return soon, fans believe that Jones might certainly be doing more as the current season progresses. Additionally, fans had to point out how iconic Jones looks as he flexes.
“Mac flexing and almost ready to fight, GOAT,” one fan added.

“Michael McCorkle Jones is BACK,” one excited fan wrote.
Many were simply excited for Jones to make a confident comeback: “Talk your sh-t, Mac! ❤️💛🔥🔥🔥 #FTTB”
That being said, many chalked up Jones’ bad performances to the New England Patriots’ management, pointing out that he didn’t have the proper coaches and team around him.
“NEVER DOUBTED HIM. NOT ONE MINUTE,” a confident fan said.

Was Jones Injured During the Rams Clash?
That being said, Jones has been reliable and impressive this entire season. In his other two starts, Jones had 563 passing yards and four touchdowns, making sure to keep the 49ers afloat without Purdy at QB1.
Having said that, injuries continue to plague the 49ers.
Mac Jones full injury 🙏

After an impressive showing, Jones went down with a leg injury during the third quarter vs. the Rams. The 27-year-old was driving for a TD when a Rams defender tackled him. He landed awkwardly and was immediately treated by the medical staff. Jones made it off the field on his own, indicating that his injury might not be completely severe.
Jones is currently ranked B- in PFSN’s QB Impact Score through four games with an 80.4 score. Under Jones’ leadership, the 49ers have the league’s 11th-ranked offense in PFSN’s Offense Impact metric.
