Bears kicker Cairo Santos: ‘I just gotta do my job’

Bleary-eyed and frustrated, Cairo Santos didn’t try to explain away what happened Sunday.

“I just gotta do my job,” he said after a 28-19 loss to the rival Packers. “I’m done making any excuses. There’s no excuse out there. It’s frustrating. I try to put in my ‘A’ product every day. I felt like I’ve done a great job there all year — I can be confident in saying that.

“On Sunday … the extra point consistency’s not there.”

With about six minutes left in the first half, Santos pushed an extra point right. He told holder Trenton Gill he thought he made it — everything felt pure, but it faded.
