Jake Moody’s Savage Revenge on 49ers: Bears Deal Sends Shockwaves Through the NFL 🔥

The kicker who was supposed to be San Francisco’s golden-footed answer to Robbie Gould has officially been kicked to the curb by the 49ers, and instead of quietly slipping away into football obscurity like most kickers do, Jake Moody decided to go nuclear.

After signing with the Chicago Bears practice squad, he opened his mouth and dropped a line so wild it made Twitter implode, podcasts lose their collective minds, and 49ers fans scream into their overpriced Levi’s Stadium nachos: “I’m ready to play for a winning franchise. ”

Yes, you read that correctly.

Winning franchise.

Chicago Bears.

Same sentence.

 

Jake Moody's roller coaster ride leaves 49ers with no other choice

Somewhere in NFL heaven, George Halas probably choked on his ghost cigar because even he wouldn’t dare call the Bears a “winning franchise” in 2025.

The Bears have won nothing since before half their fan base was born, but Jake Moody, fresh off being tossed out of San Francisco like last week’s sourdough, is suddenly treating Chicago like the land of milk and Lombardis.

You cannot make this stuff up.

The backlash was instant and delicious.

49ers fans were already salty about Moody’s inconsistency, and this just threw gasoline on the fire.

One fan posted, “Bro couldn’t hit a 40-yarder in perfect weather and now he’s talking like the Bears are the Patriots. ”

Another wrote, “This might be the first time anyone’s called the Bears a winning franchise since 1985. ”

The memes flew faster than a blocked extra point.

Moody’s face was photoshopped onto the Titanic with the caption, “I’m ready to win. ”

Nike ads mocked him with fake slogans like, “Believe in something.

Even if it means believing in the Bears. ”

Meanwhile, Chicago fans, who haven’t had a reason to smile since Devin Hester ran back the opening kick in Super Bowl XLI, suddenly started acting like Moody was their new messiah.

Local radio stations were buzzing with takes like, “Finally, a kicker with swagger,” as if Soldier Field’s legendary winds haven’t eaten kickers alive since the dawn of time.

One Bears fan tweeted, “The dynasty starts now.

Fields to Moody, baby.

” Yes, you read that correctly—Fields to Moody, as if kickers are suddenly catching passes now.

The delusion is contagious.

Over in San Francisco, the reaction was pure comedy.

Reports say players lit up their group chat with laughing emojis the second the quote dropped.

An unnamed teammate allegedly said, “Good luck hitting from 30 yards when the wind at Soldier Field is blowing at 60 mph sideways.”

Another added, “Winning franchise? Did he mean the practice squad fantasy league?” Even Kyle Shanahan, who kept his lips sealed, was seen smirking in practice, probably thinking about how his team was a play away from another Super Bowl while Moody was out here flexing on behalf of a team that’s allergic to playoff wins.

And let’s not forget the optics.

Moody didn’t just join the Bears quietly.

No, he threw shade at the Niners on his way out like a jilted ex trying to convince everyone his rebound girlfriend is “so much hotter. ”

Fake sports psychologist Dr. Linda Legstrong told us, “This is textbook rebound energy.

He just got dumped, so now he’s parading around with his new partner.

Unfortunately, his new partner is the Chicago Bears. ”

Savage but accurate.

Even the fake experts are dunking on him.

Here’s the wild part—maybe, just maybe, Jake Moody is playing the long game.

By trashing San Francisco and gassing up Chicago, he’s put himself in the headlines more than most kickers will ever dream.

Kickers don’t trend unless they blow it in prime time.

Moody? He’s trending for his mouth, not his leg.

That’s legendary pettiness.

Is he delusional? Absolutely.

Is he crazy? Probably.

But is he smart? Weirdly, yes.

He’s turned himself from “that guy who missed a field goal” into “that guy who thinks the Bears are winners. ” One is forgettable.

The other will live forever in the halls of NFL meme history.

But don’t get it twisted—the Bears aren’t suddenly a juggernaut just because Jake Moody declared it so.

Their offensive line still collapses like a Jenga tower, their defense is still full of holes, and Justin Fields is still running for his life every Sunday.

Adding Moody doesn’t change the fact that Chicago football has been the punchline of the league for decades.

But in a league where headlines matter almost as much as wins, Jake Moody has just made himself the story of the week.

He’s the kicker who dared to dream—or at least dared to troll.

So what happens next? Bears fans will cling to his quote like it’s gospel, convincing themselves this is the start of something magical.

49ers fans will keep mocking him, pointing to their playoff runs and banners.

And the rest of us will sit back, grab the popcorn, and wait for the inevitable moment when Jake Moody shanks a 32-yarder at Soldier Field and the internet eats him alive.

Because that’s the circle of NFL life: one day you’re a hero, the next day you’re a meme, and if you’re a kicker, it can all happen in the span of 60 minutes.

Jake Moody wanted to make headlines.

Mission accomplished.

But calling the Bears a “winning franchise”? That’s not just shade, that’s comedy gold.

And if nothing else, he’s given us all something to laugh about while we wait for real football to start.

Congrats, Jake—you’ve officially become the most entertaining kicker in the NFL, and that’s saying something.
