The Commanders have found Matt Gay’s replacement, signing kicker Jake Moody from the Bears’ practice squad on Monday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported. Washington cut Gay earlier on Monday after he missed two field goals, including the game-winning attempt, during Sunday’s 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins.
Gay missed a 56-yard field goal attempt near the end of regulation on Sunday in Madrid, sending the game into overtime. If Gay would’ve made the attempt, the Dolphins would’ve gotten the ball back with 10 seconds remaining, meaning Washington likely would’ve sealed the win and broken their five-game losing streak. Instead, the Commanders lost in overtime, extending the streak to six.
