Kicker Eddy Pineiro is coming off a groin injury that sidelined him for all of the 2020 season after beating Ramiz Ahmed for the Bears’ starting kicker job. Before that, Pineiro had a remarkable rookie season, where he was 23-28 on field goals, and 27-29 on extra points. The most important talking point about this signing is that Pineiro was 2-2 on field goals over 50 yards, and also made a 58-yarder during the preseason.
Current Colts’ kicker Rodrigo “Hot Rod” Blankenship, also nicknamed “Noodle Leg” by former SB writer Zach Hicks (farewell Zach) was 1-3 on field goals over 50.
