San Francicso 49ers kicker Jake Moody could've crawled into the San Andreas Fault and still not had enough cover for the heat he took following a bad game that's about to cap an equally poor season.
Moody missed two field goals and an extra point before comically butchering an onside kick in his team's 40-34 loss to the visiting Detroit Lions on "Monday Night Football."
After three consecutive appearances in the NFC title game, San Francisco has fallen into last place in the NFC West this season.
After that first missed field goal, "Monday Night Football" cameras caught 49ers tight end George Kittle exchanging encouraging words with Moody on the sidelines.
Moody is 21-of-32 this season and his 71.9% conversion rate is among the lowest in pro football.
