The 49ers might still be undefeated if veteran kicker Robbie Gould hadn’t injured his quad.
With Gould out injured for San Francisco’s showdown with the Seahawks, the Niners brought in undrafted rookie Chase McLaughlin to handle the kicking duties on Monday Night Football.
McLaughlin was fine in four games with the Chargers earlier this season, connecting on six of his nine field goal attempts. He also made his first three field goals in his Niners debut, including a 47-yard effort in the final seconds to tie the game and send it to overtime.
But a second attempt from 47—this time in the overtime period—didn’t go as well.
