Bears' Cairo Santos Takes Blame for Field Goal Unit's 'Stink' After Vikings Block FG

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos took the blame for his blocked field goal in the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

"I take the blame in kind of the stink that we have on our field goal unit right now," Santos said post-game, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin and Kalyn Kahler. "We've gone so many kicks in a row without getting kicks blocked, 16 50-yarders the last two years not getting a kick blocked. And sometimes they happen like that, back-to-back."

The Bears have now had field goal attempts blocked in back-to-back games, with the first occurring in their 20-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
