Longtime NFL kicker Robbie Gould who played six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers is retiring following an 18-year career that established him as one of the game's best in the clutch.
The 49ers started the season with nine straight losses, but they finished it with five straight wins. In between, the 49ers found their quarterback of the future.
The San Francisco 49ers started the 2017 regular season with nine losses, and now they have a chance to finish the year with a five-game winning streak after a 44-33 victory over the AFC South champion Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
The 49ers won their third consecutive game on Sunday, beating the Titans at Levi's Stadium by a 25-23 score on a last-second field goal by kicker Robbie Gould.
Against the Bears on the road, this was a new 49ers offense with QB Jimmy Garoppolo under center, and as a result, the defense was rested and able to dominate the game.
The good news is the 49ers were very competitive against the Washington Redskins, but the bad news was San Francisco lost yet again.
According to NFL Network's Alex Flanagan, the 49ers have agreed to a deal with former Chicago Bears and New York Giants kicker Robbie Gould.
