A fresh start might have been all that Jake Moody needed. The embattled kicker was the hero for the Bears on Monday night, when they needed him the most.
With three seconds to go, Moody drilled a 38-yard field goal to give the Bears a 25-24 win over the Commanders in Washington. It was the site where the Bears crumbled nearly one year ago, sending their 2024 season into a tailspin. And it was just over a month since Moody himself stumbled and got cut by the 49ers.
"It feels amazing to get all that support after the game from all my teammates," Moody told Lisa Salters after the game on the ESPN broadcast.
