San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Piñeiro has officially put the league on notice after a standout performance against the Los Angeles Rams, where he showcased his true field goal range under pressure.
Piñeiro, who joined the 49ers this season, connected on multiple key kicks in Sunday’s NFC West clash, including a deep attempt that stretched the limits of his reputation. The 28-year-old kicker drilled a crucial long-range field goal that silenced doubters and gave head coach Kyle Shanahan newfound confidence in his special teams unit.
“Coaches always want to know exactly where your comfort zone is,” Piñeiro said postgame. “Tonight, I think I proved I can consistently hit from beyond 55 yards. That’s the range I feel good about right now.”
For a team that has leaned heavily on its defense and playmaking offense, having a reliable kicker could be the difference in tight games. Piñeiro’s performance not only boosted his confidence but also strengthened his case as one of the more dependable legs in the league.
Formerly with the Bears and Panthers, Piñeiro has experienced ups and downs in his NFL journey. However, the stability he has shown in San Francisco might mark the beginning of his most productive chapter yet.
The 49ers’ 30–23 victory over the Rams may be remembered for Brock Purdy’s poise and Christian McCaffrey’s explosive plays, but Piñeiro’s booming kick from long distance highlighted the hidden strength of this roster.
With playoff implications always looming in a competitive NFC, Piñeiro’s newfound range could be the secret weapon the 49ers need when the season comes down to a single kick.
