Bears coach brutally struck Cairo Santos with analysis of play against Packers

One of the most underrated aspects of the Chicago Bears' heartbreaking 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers was the special teams performance.

There were discussions about Bears kicker Cairo Santos's struggles on kickoffs, which gave the Packers an advantage in field position. Santos seemed inconsistent in getting it to the landing zone, which often gave Green Bay a good starting position on their offensive drives.

Late in the second quarter, Santos was penalized for failing to get the ball to the landing zone, and the Packers started at their own 40-yard line. Green Bay only needed four plays to score a touchdown right before the end of the half.
