As a third-round pick of the 49ers, kicker Jake Moody was a disaster. Moody’s first game as a Bear has started much better.
The Bears received the opening kickoff, marched into field goal range on a nine-play, 41-yard drive, and Moody hit a 47-yard field goal to give Chicago a 3-0 lead in Washington today.
Moody is playing tonight because the Bears’ regular kicker, Cairo Santos, is dealing with a thigh injury. Santos isn’t expected to be out long and Moody may not last in Chicago long, but if he makes his kicks tonight he can jump-start his stalled career.
Caleb Williams went 3-for-4 for 26 yards on the opening drive to help the Bears get into field goal range.
The Bears’ second drive ended with a 48-yard field goal from Moody that gave Chicago a 6-0 lead.
