Eddy Pineiro Earns NFC Special Teams Player of the Month Honors

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro has been named the NFC's Special Teams Player of the Month for October, validating the team's early-season kicking change. During October, Pineiro was perfect, converting all 10 of his field goal attempts and all 6 extra points across the 49ers' four games. Since replacing Jake Moody after the first week of the season, he has remained flawless on field goals, going 17-of-17, with his only missed extra point occurring in his debut game. This marks Pineiro's first career monthly award, adding to his four previous weekly honors. He aims to continue his strong performance against the Giants in Week 9.
