Eddy Dinero? Kicker Pineiro lives up to his money nickname

Bears coach Matt Nagy likes his kicker’s new nickname: Eddy Dinero.

After making three field goals — including a 53-yarder at the gun Sunday — Eddy Pineiro deserves to be called money.

“The players love him and he’s got that swag,” Nagy said Monday after the Bears’ 16-14 win against the Broncos. “That’s who we are as a team, and, supposedly, he’s got a new nickname now, too.”

After the Bears boarded their airplane Sunday night, Pineiro thanked Nagy for the opportunity to make the team — and win the game,

“His personality is infectious,” Nagy said.
