Nick Mullens Benched In Final Minutes
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens was benched with under two minutes remaining in Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. C.J. Beathard entered the game and took over under center. Mullens completed 21 of 36 passes for 219 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions before being pulled. It's unclear whether Mullens was benched for his poor performance or due to an injury. Mullens took a hit on his throwing arm before coming off the field. However, he appeared to be throwing the ball on the sidelines without any discomfort while Beathard was in, so if he did suffer an injury, it's unlikely that it is anything significant.
