It was an off day for the Commanders on Sunday, and there was no real competition in training camp.Yes, we are all concerned and mystified at losing left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Yes, left tackle might be the second- or third-most important position in a team's offense. Yet, it is also true, "How many NFL games come down to a missed or made field goal?"Keeping an eye on that kicker competition.Jake Moody vs. Drew Stevens pic.twitter.com/y1uQ5NSEep Scott Abraham (@Scott7news) August 4, 2026Simply consider the 2024 Commanders season, where Washington had five games decided by a final margin of three points or less. Meanwhile, the 2025 Chicago Bears had seven of their 17 games end with a final margin of three points or less. Therefore, how significant might it be having a kicker who can successfully make field goals in the final seconds?The Commanders have a kicking competition; a kicking duel taking place in this year's training camp. Jake Moody returns as the Washington kicker, and he is being challenged by Iowa Hawkeye rookie Drew Stevens. A typical competitive drill has the two kickers given six field goal attempts, each from a different distance. Typically, the range is from 30 to 55 yards.Saturday saw Stevens successfully put all six of his field goal attempts through the uprights. In fact, for all of the days this competition has been made public, Stevens has missed only two field goal attempts through Saturday. Moody, on the other hand, missed two in Saturday's competition and has missed seven thus far in the competitive drills against Stevens through Saturday. If I've added these correctly, Stevens is 34 of 36, and Moody is 29 of 36.Just when it appeared that Stevens was running away with it, Moody had another bad day on Monday. This time, Stevens did, too. Jake Moody just missed 4 consecutive FG attempts. Drew Stevens followed and missed 3 FG attempts. Welp. pic.twitter.com/SxRDHlAWXT Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 10, 2026Of course, these are not actual NFL games, where the pressure is much more intense. Last season, Moody made 10 of his 11 attempts for Washington after being released by the Bears. It is worth noting that Moody has already kicked for the 49ers, Bears, and Commanders in his NFL career.Preseason games will no doubt count more than attempts in practice. So, Commanders fans will want to watch closely to see how the Commanders rotate the two kickers during the three preseason games and how Moody and Stevens execute during their opportunities.This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: What's the latest on the Commanders' kicking competition?
