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.
