The 49ers may lean on the pass less in this week's contest (and hand the ball off more) because they be starting backup quarterback Mac Jones.At a -3.5-point disadvantage, the 49ers are underdogs in this week's game, implying more of a reliance on passing than their standard approach.The predictive model expects the San Francisco 49ers to be the 5th-least run-centric team on the slate this week with a 38.9% run rate, given their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.Mac Jones's 2.0 adjusted rushing yards per game this year illustrates a significant diminishment in his rushing talent over last year's 8.0 mark.Mac Jones's rushing efficiency has declined this year, compiling a measly 1.14 adjusted yards-per-carry vs a 3.33 rate last year.
