Week 2 · 2025–26 season
49ers
W 26-21 at Saints · Sep 14, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
49ers fans pocketing 2-0 on the road and quietly noting M.Jones looks competent enough to be dangerous.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
M.Jones to J.Jennings for 42 yards in the fourth was the dagger, and B.Huff strip-sacking S.Rattler with a minute left sealed what the defense had been threatening all afternoon. Two weeks in, the backup quarterback has outplayed the panic, and C.McCaffrey is finding the end zone on screens like nothing happened. 2-0 with a banged-up roster is the kind of start that quiets a fanbase — briefly.
