49ers kicker Pineiro missed another extra point Monday night against the Commanders, prompting public criticism from head coach Shanahan.
Shanahan did not hold back when addressing the miss after the game. "Yeah, he's got to make them," he said.
The failed conversion was Pineiro's third missed extra point of the season, matching his three missed field goals on the year. The 49ers still managed to defeat the Commanders Monday night despite the special teams error.
Pineiro's struggles extend beyond this season. Over the last five years, he has missed 14 extra points, the most in the NFL during that span. Among the 30 kickers with at least 75 extra point attempts over that period, he owns the lowest made percentage.
With continued misses, Pineiro's job security could come into question as the 49ers evaluate their options at the position.
