CHICAGO -- After two straight games with a blocked field goal attempt -- and an NFL-high three this season -- Bears kicker Cairo Santos said he takes the blame for the "stink" on the unit after a 30-27 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
Santos' 48-yard attempt in the second quarter was blocked by Vikings defensive tackle Jerry Tillery. How it happened was quite similar to his potential game-winning field goal getting blocked by the Green Bay Packers in Week 11.
Minnesota recovered the ball near midfield after the block and soon took a seven-point lead.
