The 49ers dropped their first game of the 2026 NFL season after losing 29-20 to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, falling to 6-1. A lot went wrong for them in the game, but one area in particular…
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Monday that the team has no current plans to try out new kickers, backing Eddy Piñeiro despite his ongoing struggles. Piñeiro missed his seventh kick of the season during a 29-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, failing to convert a fourth-quarter extra point.
Piñeiro, who signed a four-year contract extension in the offseason, previously made 28 of 29 field goals in 2025. Following their first defeat of the season, the 6-1 49ers enter a bye week before hosting the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9.
