Bears kicker Cairo Santos dashed to his phone to find out what went wrong after Packers defendsive lineman Karl Brooks blocked his 46-yard field goal as time expired to deny the Bears an invigorating victory.

He quickly got his answer: nothing.

In the aftermath of the Bears’ 20-19 loss Sunday at Soldier Field, there was no Tyrique Stevenson to blame for this failure — pending film review, of course. Santos tipped his cap to Packers special teams coordinator Rich Basaccia for a good play and vowed to be better next time.
