The Detroit Lions defeated the San Francisco 49ers in a 40–34 thriller on Monday night, but the key asterisks there are 49ers kicker Jake Moody's two missed field goals and PAT. Indeed, it's pretty easy to connect the dots that, had Moody made those kicks, the end of the game could have looked a lot different.
Moody does not need an article or reporter to tell him this; surely, there is no one more upset about how it all went down than the kicker himself. But perhaps the reaction from his teammate George Kittle made him feel better.
