Mac Jones reveals how many bananas he actually ate on 49ers sideline image

Mac Jones needed some potassium.

Who can blame him? The San Francisco 49ers were counting on their quarterback to grit out a Thursday Night Football victory over the Los Angeles Rams. He needed the fuel, and so he turned to bananas.

Viewers raised their eyes late in the game when Amazon Prime broadcast play-by-play man Al Michaels said that the banana Jones was eating on the sideline in that moment was his 11th of the game.

Afterward, Jones clarified it hadn't been quite that many.

"Eleven? That's definitely wrong," Jones told reporters afterward. "But... I think I had three. Yeah, that was incorrect, but they can believe whatever they want."
