Kyle Shanahan trusted rookie kicker Jake Moody enough to let him try (and convert) a 57-yard field goal attempt against the Rams.

SANTA CLARA — It turns out Jake Moody wasn’t nearly as nervous at attempting a 57-yard field as he was taking practice kicks during the week.

It’s a concept Moody concedes makes “zero sense” although his explanation helps in understanding the mind of a kicker. “It’s just you, the snapper, the holder and the guys protecting you. I feel a little bit more calm out there rather than having coaches breathing down your back.” The 49ers are 2-0 and Moody is tied for second in the NFL with 24 points. He is 6-for-6 on field goal attempts and 6-for-6 on extra point tries. He also scored major points with coach Kyle Shanahan when kicking the 57-yarder with 1:21 to play in the third quarter against the Rams to put the 49ers up 20-17.
