Immediately after missing his fifth extra point of the season on Sunday, Bears kicker Cairo Santos changed the spot of the ball.
Kickers have the choice of where to put the ball on extra points. For his entire career, Santos had chosen the right hash. After pushing his extra point left in the second quarter, though, he began spotting the ball in the middle of the field. He made his final two extra points.
“It’s helped me for a long time, kicking from the right hash, but I feel like a bad habit is starting to develop,” Santos said Wednesday.
