"LANDOVER, Md. - Jake Moody had been on the Chicago Bears' active roster for all of seven hours by the time he kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired to beat the Washington Commanders 25-24 on Monday night. Moody was elevated from the practice squad earlier in the day while Bears kicker Cairo Santos is dealing with an injury to his right thigh. Santos was injured during Chicago's Week 4 win at Las Vegas and was a full participant in practice during the week."
"Moody, who has been with the Bears since Sept. 13, became the first Bears kicker to boot a walk-off field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter in his debut with the franchise. The 25-year-old was mobbed by teammates as his game-winner sailed through the uprights at Northwest Stadium. He was then carried off the field in celebration. "It's a pretty cool series of events," Moody said."
Jake Moody was elevated from the Chicago Bears' practice squad hours before kicking a 38-yard field goal as time expired to beat the Washington Commanders 25-24. Cairo Santos did not play because of a right thigh issue after a Week 4 injury in Las Vegas despite participating in practice earlier in the week. Ben Johnson said the team made the change because Santos "wasn't feeling it." Moody became the first Bears kicker to convert a walk-off field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter in his franchise debut. Teammates mobbed and carried the 25-year-old off the field. Moody began the season with San Francisco, was cut after missing two field goals in the opener, and then signed to the Bears practice squad.
