Quiet in losing effort Santos converted a pair of extra points in the Bears' 34-14 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Impact With the Bears offense having limited success against an excellent Rams defense, Santos wasn't called upon for a single field-goal attempt. However, as the schedule eases up, the Bears have the type of offense that can move the ball but fail to finish drives, which gives Santos the ability for spike weeks in the scoring column.

Inks huge extension The Bears signed Santos to a five-year, $16 million extension Thursday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Chicago spent a number of seasons searching for reliable placekicking before bringing in Santos last year, so it's unsurprising to see the team lock him up long-term. Santos was fantastic through 16 regular-season games in 2020, converting 30 of 32 field-goal tries and 36 of 37 extra-point attempts. The veteran kicker also made his only field-goal attempt during Chicago's playoff loss to the Saints.
