Heroes, zeros and full blitz in the Jets’ loss to the 49ers on Monday.

hero

Jordan Mason started when Christian McCaffrey was inactive and showed his ability to be elusive and decisive, rushing for 147 yards and scoring a touchdown on 28 carries. “We saw him on film running hard downhill like all of San Fran’s running backs they’ve had and have today,” Quinnen Williams said.

Zero

The Jets’ defense. No consistent pass rush (three sacks, giving Haason Reddick more leverage). No pass defense (Brock Purdy 231 yards). And no run defense.

Unsung hero

49ers kicker Jake Moody made six field goals, including one from 53 yards.

Important statistics

38:40 Time of possession for the 49ers. San Francisco controlled the clock for 38:40 while elite playmaker Kyle Shanahan disoriented and confused the Jets defense.

Quote of the day

“We’re not there yet. They kicked our asses today. We have to find a way to get better. The big teams will recover from this and that’s what we plan to do.”

— Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson
