Mac Jones Boldly Declares He’s Ready to Start at QB for 49ers vs. Falcons in Week 7: 'I’m Prepared to Lead This Team to Victory'
San Francisco, CA – October 15, 2025 — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones has expressed strong confidence that he will be under center for the team’s crucial Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Despite the ongoing competition for the starting QB role, Jones remains focused and ready to lead the 49ers to victory.
“I’m ready to go,” Jones said in a recent interview. “I’ve been preparing all week, and I’m confident that I’ll be starting. I’ve got full trust in my abilities, and I’m excited to help this team win.”
Head coach Kyle Shanahan has hinted at the possibility of Jones starting in Week 7 after a solid week of practice. While there has been ongoing speculation about the 49ers' QB situation, Jones has proven himself capable of handling the pressure, and his leadership has been evident in his approach to the game.
Jones’ confidence is backed by a strong work ethic and his determination to prove himself as the right fit for the starting role. Despite the competition, Jones is focused on executing Shanahan’s offense to the best of his ability, with his eye on guiding the 49ers back to the playoffs.
“I’m just taking it one day at a time, focusing on what I can control,” Jones added. “The team’s success is what matters most, and I’ll do whatever it takes to help us win.”
With Jones poised to start, the 49ers are hoping to regain momentum after some inconsistent performances. The Week 7 game against the Falcons is crucial for San Francisco’s playoff aspirations, and Jones is ready to take the reins and show why he’s the right choice for the job.
AJ Brown Talks 'Main Issue' Plaguing Eagles Offense
The Philadelphia Eagles are 4-2 on the season so far, but the offense isn't where you'd likely expect right now.
That arguably has been the talking point of the season so far for Philadelphia. People have been weighing in with their opinions all year to this point, but most aren't in the room itself. AJ Brown is someone who obviously is involved with the offense. He spoke candidly about the offense this week about what he thinks the "main issue" is right now.
"It comes down to executing and doing our job," Brown said. "Right now, we're in a heavy phase of being accountable, holding guys accountable and just taking that step forward..."Main issues...self-inflicted wounds. Sometimes just a lack of execution at the wrong time, you know. If it's the first down, you are going to lack the execution, it may not be the end of the world. But when it happens on third down or puts us behind the sticks, that's hard to recover in this league. I just think being on the same page and communication and lack of execution."
The Eagles offense has room for growth
The Eagles are in first place in the NFC East, but there's clearly room for growth. Right now, the Eagles are ranked 30th in the NFL in total yards per game (274.5 yards), 30th in passing yards per game (179.2 yards), and 25th in rushing yards per game (95.3 yards). None of those metrics are where the Eagles want them to be. The rushing stat is arguably the most surprising as the Eagles were one of the best rushing teams in football last year behind Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts and both are still in town.
Last year, the Eagles' passing offense wasn't too far ahead, despite all of the drama this year. The Eagles finished 29th in passing yards per game in the regular season with 187.9 yards per game. On the flip side, the Eagles finished second in average rushing yards per game with 179.3, behind just the Baltimore Ravens.
Brown isn't wrong about execution as well. For example, the Eagles are 27th in the league right now on third down conversions with a success rate of 34.67 percent. Last year, the Eagles were 11th in the league at 40.28 percent.
There's clearly room for growth and the offense has the vast majority of the pieces from last year. Now, it's just about executing and being put in the right position. Last year, things didn't click until the Week 5 bye. The Eagles have had a mini bye this week after playing Week 6 on Thursday night against the New York Giants. Philadelphia had some time to regroup ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Will that result in a similar turnaround like last year?
