Jake Moody made his mark on the NFL in dramatic fashion Monday night. Just seven hours after being elevated from the Chicago Bears\u2019 practice squad, Moody nailed a 38-yard field goal as time expired to clinch a 25\u201324 victory over the Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move came after starter Cairo Santos was sidelined by a thigh injury, forcing the Bears to turn to Moody. Moody had been with Chicago since mid-September, joining the practice squad after being released by the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the game, Moody went 4-for-5 on field goal attempts in rainy, windy conditions, with his final kick delivering victory right as the clock hit zero. His teammates erupted in celebration, lifting him up in jubilation after the historic moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite limited time to prepare, Moody\u2019s performance earned plaudits across the team. Bears head coach Ben Johnson said Moody had shown in practice that he\u2019s capable of making big kicks, and the victory could be a turning point in his time with the franchise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
