49ers PK David David Akers Feels ‘Horrible’ About Miss

Found December 02, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: David Akers
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers
After exacerbating a pelvis injury last week, 49ers placekicker David Akers was really hurting following the 49ers’ 16-13 overtime loss to the Rams on Sunday. For the second time in four games, Akers missed an overtime field-goal attempt against the Rams. On Sunday, his 51-yard attempt with 4:16 left drifted just right. On Nov. 11, Akers pushed a 41-yarder left in a 24-24 tie at Candlestick Park. “It’s a game of inches, and I probably missed it by 3 or 4 inches to the right,” Akers said. “Just feel horrible for letting my teammates, organization and fans down. I thought I hit it great.” Instead, Akers collected his latest miss in a forgettable season where he has made just 15 of his past 24 field-goal attempts, including 4 of his past 7 from 40 to 49 yards.
