49ers fans are still reveling in the team’s improbable win against the Rams on Thursday behind quarterback Mac Jones, but reporting about what the former first-round pick experienced earlier that morning makes the victory even more shocking.
The Athletic senior NFL writer Dianna Russini reported Saturday that Jones woke up the morning of the game, went out to his balcony at the team hotel in Marina del Rey and saw a dead body floating in the water.
As the team boarded their bus to SoFi Stadium, players watched as investigators and coroners turned up at the marina, according to Russini.
