GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Jake Moody missed an extra-point attempt in sixth grade and it bothered him even after a photo showed the ball teed up sideways.San Francisco’s kicker hasn’t missed since.By hitting all six of his extra point kicks in the 49ers’ 45-29 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Moody has made 53 straight PATs — the most since the NFL moved the kick back to the 15-yard line in 2015.“I mean, it’s good — it’s what I’m shooting for,” Moody said. “But that’s my job, obviously, not trying to miss any. If I can keep that going, hit lots of extra points every game, that usually means we’re winning, so hopefully we keep that up.”The Niners raised a few eyebrows by using a third-round pick on Moody at this year’s NFL draft, making him the first kicker drafted within the first three rounds since Tampa Bay took Roberto Aguayo in the second in 2016.Despite being hampered by a quadriceps injury late in preseason camp, Moody got his rookie season off to...

Ukraine needs a government of national unity
