The New York Jets trail the San Francisco 49ers 26-7 in the third quarter, with Aaron Rodgers struggling to produce and the 49ers’ offense dominating behind Jordan Mason.
Bollywood Fever: After a promising first quarter, the New York Jets are now struggling to contain the San Francisco 49ers, trailing 26-7 midway through the third quarter.
The 49ers have dominated both offensively and defensively, with running back Jordan Mason leading the charge.
The Jets’ struggles worsened early in the second half when quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw a tipped interception to Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, giving the 49ers possession and leading to a Jake Moody field goal.
The 49ers had already opened the half with an 11-play, 70-yard drive, finished by a five-yard touchdown run from Mason.
A key play in that drive was a 34-yard catch by fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who slipped past Jets safety Ashtyn Davis.
Mason, making his first career start, has been a standout performer with 17 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown so far.
The Jets’ defense has struggled to slow down San Francisco’s running game, allowing Mason to exploit gaps in the line throughout the game.
On offense, the Jets have been stagnant since their first-quarter touchdown, managing just 100 total yards as the third quarter winds down.
Aaron Rodgers, in his second start for the Jets, has completed eight passes for only 76 yards and an interception.
With the game slipping away, the Jets’ defense will need to make a crucial stop to have any hope of mounting a comeback and securing a win to kick off their season.
