Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos expressed his frustration following a 30-27 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings, taking responsibility for the team's special teams struggles, including two blocked field goals in consecutive games.

Santos acknowledged that opposing teams have exploited his low trajectory kicks, leading to three blocks this season, a feat not seen since 2012. Despite the setbacks, he remains focused on improving his technique.

Additionally, return specialist DeAndre Carter faced his own challenges, muffing a punt that contributed to the Bears' difficulties. Coach Matt Eberflus indicated he would take a more active role in addressing these special teams issues ahead of their next game against the Detroit Lions.
