"That shirt is friggin dope I want one!" another fan wrote. "Brock showing love while Mac's out here gifting dad energy," one fan commented. "Mac absolutely got mogged on by Big Buck Brock," a fan tweeted. "Cmon give Mac Jones a little more credit!" one fan said. "We need to keep Mac for vibes," another fan tweeted.

The holiday gesture came three days after Purdy torched Indianapolis for five touchdowns on "Monday Night Football." He completed 25 of 34 passes for 295 yards and earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors.

Purdy finished with a 126.8 passer rating.

Mac Jones went 5-3 as a starter when Brock Purdy missed time with a toe injury.

Jones is locked in through 2026 at $3.25 million annually. The Athletic's Jeff Howe wrote that the 49ers could either keep him as insurance or field offers if contenders call the team.

San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan wanted Jones in the 2021 draft and watched him run the offense successfully this fall. Purdy has dealt with injuries in each of his four NFL seasons, which makes the backup spot more critical than usual.

The 49ers and the Chicago Bears (11-4) have secured their playoff berths. Sunday's game matters for seeding.

San Francisco can sort Jones' long-term status once January football wraps up. He has recorded 2,151 yards and 13 touchdowns in 11 games this season.
