With everything on the line Monday night, Moody knew focus and presence would be key on his game-deciding kick.

Jake Moody didn't enjoy the best set of circumstances leading up to Monday, but the Bears kicker still delivered the game-winning field goal.

In his first game on the Bears' active roster, Moody was tasked with kicking the game-winning go-ahead field goal, in the rain, with three seconds left on the clock—an order that would serve as the ultimate vindication if it went right, or just another difficult pill to swallow if it went wrong.

A source told the Chicago Tribune that kicker Cairo Santos’ injury popped up again over the weekend, and now the Bears will turn to Jake Moody.

Jake Moody was elevated from the practice squad just seven hours before nailing a 38-yard field goal as time expired to beat the Washington Commanders 25-24 on Monday night.
