Chant with Me: Cody! Cody!
Of all the improbable elements in the San Francisco 49ers' first victory since opening day, nothing matched a raucous crowd chanting "Cody! Cody!" on the way to the clinching field goal.Cody who? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers found out.
The 49ers snapped a five-game losing streak with a 15-10 victory over the punchless Bucs. Joe Nedney kicked five field goals, including a 28-yarder with 1:56 to play on the first scoring drive ever led by former fourth-string quarterback Cody Pickett.
Pickett emerged as an improbable hero for the 49ers, performing well in the final 11 minutes while Ken Dorsey and Alex Smith were out with injuries.
