During the NFC title game, Detroit Lions' Jameson Williams scored an early touchdown with a 42-yard run, giving the Lions a 7-0 lead over the San Francisco 49ers. Meanwhile, 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody, drafted in the 3rd round (99th overall), missed a crucial 48-yard field goal attempt, continuing a streak of poor performance with three misses out of his last four attempts. The miss came after a promising drive by the 49ers, which was disrupted by a deflection from Lions' Aidan Hutchinson, leaving them scoreless in their opening possession. The Lions fans, gathered at Ford Field for a sold-out watch party, for which tickets sold for $20, celebrated Williams' touchdown enthusiastically.
The watch party at Ford Field is an incredible idea by the Lions. Love this for that fan base!

Jake Moody has missed 3 of his last 4 kicks. He was drafted in the 3rd round (99th overall). Drafting a kicker before the 7th round should be illegal.

Hutch gets another pass deflection at line on 2nd-and-11 to help force the field goal attempt. Then his ex-UM teammate Jake Moody misses from 48 yards so 49ers come up empty on opening drive. No small victory for Lions vs. Kyle Shanahan's script ... https://t.co/V6bNavmWTq

So that'll work, no? Lions need only four plays -- all on the ground -- to go 75 yards and take a 7-0 lead on Jameson Williams' 42-yard end around. 49ers are a team that doesn't play from behind that often. But they'll start that way today.
