The San Francisco 49ers are looking to move to 2-0 on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. They were already without their starting quarterback, with Mac Jones playing for the injured Brock Purdy . But they made another switch during the week that was looking questionable early on. After replacing Jake Moody on the 49ers roster, Eddy Pineiro missed his first extra point with the team.

The 49ers ended a 14-play drive with a Luke Farrell receiving touchdown to take the first-quarter lead. But that lead stayed at six after Pineiro missed the field goal. He bounced back, however, making his next two field goal attempts and an extra point later on.
