Second-year cornerback Quinyon Mitchell has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the pinnacle of his profession, earning All-Pro honors along with the nickname "Quinyonamo Bay" amid his ironclad lockdown skills.
However, in the initial stages of the 23-19 NFC Wild Card defeat to the visiting San Francisco 49ers, a jailbreak on the once impervious island was fast unfolding.
On San Francisco's opening drive, Mitchell found himself chasing wideouts in vain. Demarcus Robinson dusted Mitchell for a 61-yard gain on just the second play from scrimmage. Moments later, a quick-strike drive led by quarterback Brock Purdy had resulted in Mitchell surrendering three receptions on as many targets, culminating in a two-yard touchdown grab by Robinson.
