Kicker Eddy Piñeiro named NFC special teams player of the week after Denver win

Share

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Bears' kicker Eddy Piñeiro was named NFC special teams player of the week today. 

This probably had something to do with it: 

Piñeiro's Sunday in Denver also included makes from 40 and 52. He's now 4-4 on FG attempts on the year, and is the only kicker in the NFL who has a 100% completion rate from 50+ yards (2/2). 

Per a Bears press released, Sunday was marked the first time a Bears kicker made two 50+ yard field goals in the same game since Week 12 of the 2011 season at the Raiders.
