Bears kicked Eddy Pineiro is still hurting, but he made all three of his field-goal attempts Sunday in the 16-6 win over the Vikings.
He continued to play through a pinched nerve in his kicking knee and is intent on gutting out the upcoming game against the Raiders before giving it extended rest on the ensuing bye week.
“I feel like it’s healing and getting better,” Pineiro said. “The only thing that’s frustrating is the pain part, but a lot of guys play with pain, so I’ve gotta just get through it.”
On a day when points were sure to be hard to come by because of the weather and the Vikings’ defense, Pineiro made a 25-yard field goal at the end of the first half and hit from 38 and 30 in the third quarter.
