Heading into Week 18, San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody hadn’t missed an extra point all season. It had been since Week 7 since he had missed a field goal attempt.
The Niners have been rolling offensively, so they haven’t needed to rely on Moody. He hasn’t had a game since the Browns where he’s attempted more than two kicks. To put into perspective how proficient the 49ers offense has been this season, Moody only had three attempts further than 50 yards coming into the final week of the regular season.
In a “What have you done for me lately world,” a percentage of 49ers fans began to worry about Moody’s playoff prospects after he missed a 38-yard field goal that went wide right and then pushed an extra point wide right.
