Overview

  • Jake Moody went 5-for-6 against the Raiders, hitting from 30, 26, 50, 44 and 59 yards with a lone miss from 53.
  • Special teams coach Brant Boyer said the 59-yard game-winner "could change his career" and praised Moody’s rebound after the miss.
  • General manager John Lynch highlighted the sideline celebration as a sign that teammates believe in Moody.
  • The surge comes after a 2024 slump, when Moody’s field-goal accuracy reportedly fell to 70.6% with half of his 40-plus-yard tries missed.
  • San Francisco brought in veteran Greg Joseph for camp competition but released him before the preseason, leaving Moody in the starting role.
