Facing a short-handed San Francisco 49ers squad, the Falcons controlled large stretches of the first half. Unfortunately, they saw their composure, execution, and discipline unravel as the game wore on. The result was a 20-10 defeat that looked closer on the scoreboard than it ever felt on the field.

There was plenty of blame to go around after the game, but the Falcons just couldn't seem to figure out the 49ers defense. Aside from the team's lack of success running the ball, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. struggled against San Francisco's defensive pressure.

Atlanta’s offense stalled, the defense cracked, and a 10-men-on-the-field blunder sealed the Falcons’ 20-10 loss to the 49ers in San Francisco.

His contract includes a clause that pays Jones $400,000 if San Francisco wins four games in which he plays at least 25 percent of the 49ers’ offensive snaps. Jones has taken every offensive snap in his five games.
