4) Jake Moody–San Francisco 49ers
The native of Commerce, Michigan was the primary reason why the San Francisco 49ers defeated the New York Jets 32-19 on Monday night. Moody made field goals of 46 yards, 51 yards, 31 yards, 53 yards, 23 yards and 42 yards. He also made two converts and scored 62.5% of San Francisco’s points. Moody is the fourth 49ers kicker of all-time to kick six field goals in one game (a franchise record).
