TAMPA, Fla. — Jake Moody had a rough day in the 49ers' 23-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, but George Kittle is taking some responsibility for at least one of the kicker's three missed field goals. After the game, the tight end shared his superstition about field-goal attempts that began back when ex-49ers kicker Robbie Gould was on the team. "I made this decision, I think it was 2018 or 2019," Kittle said. "The one I stood up and watched, Robbie missed it, and Robbie Gould never misses kicks. I was like, I'm just going to stop watching kicks. "If I'm standing up, I usually just sit down, and for some reason I stood up and watched and Jake missed the first one. I was like, what am I doing? This is my fault because I'm very superstitious. So now I'll watch the board, but I don't watch the live rep. I have issues." Kittle has a field goal superstition.
