Cairo Santos hasn’t missed a field goal since Dec. 20 — not that he’s keeping track.
“That’s the date?” he said.
On “Monday Night Football” last year, Vikings defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson reached his right paw up at the line of scrimmage to block Santos’ 49-yard try with 28 seconds left in the first half of what would be a 17-9 loss.
Santos has made 19-straight field goals ever since, the second-longest streak in the NFL. The Raiders’ Daniel Carlson has lapped the field, making 41 in a row and counting.
