Jake Moody faced criticism after missing key field goals that contributed to the 49ers' loss.

Jake Moody has struggled with confidence following an injury-riddled season, which was exacerbated by a public confrontation with teammate Deebo Samuel after missed kicks. This situation highlights the immense pressure young kickers face in the NFL, as Moody's performance has diminished significantly under such scrutiny.

Jake Moody struggled significantly during his second season, missing key kicks that contributed to the team's losses. After a promising rookie season where he made 21 of 25 field goals, Moody's performance declined after returning from a high ankle sprain, resulting in a dismal 5 for 14 on field goals from at least 40 yards. His inconsistency, including a late-game miss against the Rams, ultimately highlighted the special teams' issues that led to Schneider's firing.

Jake Moody struggled in the game against Detroit, missing two long field goals and an extra point. His nine missed field goals this season are the most for a 49ers kicker since David Akers in 2012, and he has converted only 4 of 12 attempts from at least 40 yards since returning from a high ankle sprain in Week 10.

Jake Moody is facing significant scrutiny following a disappointing performance in which he missed both field goal attempts and an extra point in a loss to the Lions. Once seen as a promising talent, Moody's struggles this season have led to questions about his confidence and mental state. With a field goal success rate of only 71.9%, a notable decline from his rookie year, his future with the 49ers is uncertain as the team evaluates their kicking position heading into the offseason.
