The San Francisco 49ers lost 21-20 to the Los Angeles Rams in a meaningless Week 18 matchup, as they rested several starters and came away primarily healthy heading into the playoffs.
While the game was indeed a meaningless one, there were some causes for concern, headlined by kicker Jake Moody’s struggles from close range.
In the loss, Moody missed a 38-yard field goal, as well as his first extra point of the season, which could’ve ultimately sealed the game for San Francisco.
It was the second time this season that Moody has fallen short, ultimately costing the 49ers a game, as he missed a game-winning field 40-yard goal against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5 as well.
