Cairo Santos kicks against the Patriots on Monday night.

Two days after he made all four of his field goal tries, Cairo Santos was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday.

Santos continued his perfect streak — he’s made all 11 kicks this season — in the Bears’ 33-14 win against the Patriots on Monday night. Santos made kicks from 42, 23, 38 and 50 yards, plus all three extra points.

The Bears dominated the Patriots in all three phases.

“We didn’t have a lot of answers for anything,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said after the game.
