Bears Fans Incredulous as Santos’ Field Goal Gets Blocked Yet Again

Chicago Bears fans are in disbelief after another field goal attempt from Cairo Santos was blocked in their Week 12 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The costly miss contributed to Chicago’s 28-19 defeat.

Santos’ Blocking Woes Continue

Santos, who has been battling accuracy issues all season, has now had five field goals blocked in the past four games. This is the highest number of blocked field goals by any NFL kicker in a single season since 2011.

“We have to find a way to fix this. We can’t keep having our field goals blocked.”

Team Frustration

The blocked field goal was a major blow to the Bears’ momentum in the game. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky expressed frustration after the game:

“We drove down the field and had a chance to take the lead. It’s tough when you don’t execute.”

Impact on Playoff Hopes

The loss to the Packers hurts the Bears’ playoff chances. They are now 6-6 on the season and need to win out their remaining games to have a chance at the postseason.

The blocking woes of Santos could prove to be a major obstacle for the Bears’ playoff aspirations.

Future Outlook

The Bears will face the Detroit Lions in Week 13. It remains to be seen if Santos will continue to kick for the team or if a change will be made.

The team is expected to reassess the kicking situation during the bye week following the Lions game.
