Share

The Chicago Bears kicker competition was the storyline that followed this team all summer after Cody Parkey's double-doink sent the Bears packing in last year's wild-card game against the Eagles.

Parkey was sent packing, the Bears were left searching for his replacement.

Eddy Pineiro ultimately won the battle, and in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, he won the game.

Check out this 53-yard strike to put the Bears ahead, 16-14, as time expired:

Pineiro connected on all three of his attempts Sunday, including two from beyond 50 yards. 

The Bears have a kicker. And after Week 2, he may just be one of the best young legs in the NFL.
