San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason ran all over the New York Jets on Monday, when he was brought in at the last minute to replace injured star running back Christian McCaffrey.
In the post-game media questions, Mason was left wrong-footed after he appeared to contradict the head coach on when it was known McCaffrey wouldn’t be playing.
