Over the past two days, San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa and general manager John Lynch have each noted that Thursday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks is not technically a “must-win,” even if it feels like it after the Week 5 blunder against the Cardinals. The stakes are indeed high for running back Jordan Mason, though, who is on the verge of a peak in this breakout season he’s having.
Since the start of the regular season, Mason has had the unenviable task of replacing Christian McCaffrey, the dynamic reigning Offensive Player of the Year who is on injured reserve.
