After a disappointing performance in a crucial game against the Detroit Lions, Jake Moody, the kicker for the San Francisco 49ers, is facing a confidence crisis. In the 49ers' 40-34 loss, Moody missed two field goals and an extra point, contributing to the team's struggles. Head coach Kyle Shanahan, who previously expressed confidence in Moody, revealed that the team is now evaluating all positions, including kicker, following this disheartening outing.

Moody, who was once a reliable option with a 13 of 14 success rate on field goals before an ankle injury sidelined him, has since struggled significantly. His performance has declined to a mere 10 successful kicks out of 18 attempts in the eight games since his return. The pressure is mounting, as Moody himself acknowledged this as one of the lowest points in his career. He emphasized the need for self-confidence, stating that a kicker must maintain a positive mindset regardless of past failures.

Despite the challenging conditions, Shanahan remained somewhat sympathetic, noting that while the missed 51 and 58-yard attempts are not automatic for any kicker, the missed extra point is particularly concerning. Moody, however, insists that there were no issues with the snap or hold on the extra point, attributing his struggles to his execution. With the season nearing its end, Moody has one last opportunity to prove himself, as any potential changes to the kicking position are unlikely until the offseason.
