With how talented kickers have become in 2025, it's easy to get replaced. Hitting field goals from 50 yards or closer at a consistent rate is the new standard in the NFL. At the end of the 2024 season, the San Francisco 49ers had trouble with their field goal kicker, Jake Moody. These issues carried into the 2025 season, and the team was quick to correct them. On Tuesday, the 49ers waived Jake Moody after three seasons.

Trailing 13-10 with just 1:43 to go, Purdy pulled a very wild improvisational rabbit out of his hat on a Third and Goal. It was a do-or-die play, and Purdy did, as he ran back about ten full yards from the line of scrimmage, danced around three defenders, and just plain chucked a wing and a prayer up to the end zone, where the triple-covered third-string tight end Jake Tonges somehow caught the jump ball. This would prove the game winning touchdown.
