  • On their first possession of the second half, the 49ers drove all the way down to the two-yard line, but an illegal formation penalty killed a third-down conversion, instead eventually setting up a 41-yard field goal attempt that kicker Jake Moody missed.

The article discusses San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan's continued support for rookie kicker Jake Moody, despite a recent poor performance. Moody, who was drafted in the third round, missed two field goals in a game against the Cleveland Browns, including a crucial 41-yard attempt that could have tied the game. Despite these setbacks, Shanahan expressed confidence in Moody, emphasizing his belief in the young kicker's potential and his performance during training camp. Shanahan highlighted that Moody's misses were not due to a lack of skill but rather unfortunate circumstances, like a block and a bad snap. He also mentioned that Moody has been practicing well and that the team remains committed to him, viewing the recent game as an anomaly rather than a reflection of Moody's true ability.
