LANDOVER, Md. — Jake Moody couldn’t get comfortable the night before his return to the NFL.
The bed in the team hotel was a full-sized — or was it a twin? — one, not the king he prefers. The water in his shower was intermittently too hot and too cold.
“I couldn’t get it to go in the middle …” he said. “That might be the new tradition that I start. We’ll see.”
He has every reason to try to replicate his preparation for Monday’s game. Five weeks after the 49ers cut him and publicly questioned his self-confidence, Moody made four field goals, including a 38-yarder as the clock expired, in the Bears’ 25-24 win against the Commanders.
