Santos is the Bears’ all-time leader in field-goal accuracy and made the game-winner against the Vikings with 10 seconds left Monday.

Cairo Santos has been remarkably steady since the Bears signed him as an insurance policy in 2020. He became the third kicker in franchise history to win NFC special teams player of the month Thursday.

Santos led the NFL with 41 points in November, thanks to going 12 of 14 on field goals and hitting all five of his extra points. He was 3 for 3 on field goals of 50 or more yards.
