The San Francisco 49ers narrowly edged out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10 with a 23-20 win, thanks to two touchdown passes from Brock Purdy and a tough performance from placekicker Jake Moody, who racked up 11 points and several misses—his third-best game of the season in terms of scoring.

After the road victory, Brock Purdy praised Moody’s performance, stating that the team already knew what he was capable of. They had seen it in practices and past games, noting that Moody has learned from his mistakes and knows how to deliver when it truly matters.

It’s worth mentioning that Moody struggled with his accuracy in this game, missing multiple field goals, including two from beyond 40 yards and one from over 50 yards. This marked the first time in the current season that he missed so many attempts in a single game, totaling six misses against the Buccaneers.

Another player who spoke about Moody was George Kittle, who humorously took the blame for one of the missed kicks. Kittle admitted he hadn’t watched a field goal attempt in five years but decided to watch Moody’s first attempt of the game, which ended up being a miss. Kittle joked, saying, “This is my fault… I have issues, man. I’m sorry.”
