Bears look for consistency from QB Caleb Williams and offense after loss to Vikings

Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson didn't expect as much inconsistency from his offense or from quarterback Caleb Williams, but has it after Week 1

Misses long kick in Week 1 loss Santos went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries during the Bears' 27-24 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

Impact Santos connected on a 42-yard field goal late in the second quarter, but his 50-yard attempt at the beginning of the fourth sailed right, which put the Vikings' in good field position and led to a 13-yard touchdown pass from J.J. McCarthy to Justin Jefferson six plays later. Santos is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he connected on just 21 of 25 field-goal attempts, but his numbers would improve in 2025 if the Bears' offense -- led by first-year head coach Ben Johnson -- is able to move the ball down the field more effectively.

Concludes low-volume season Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Santos posted six or fewer points in each of Chicago's last six games. In addition, the kicker recorded more than seven points in two of 17 games. Normally, Santos is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL, but his 84.0 percent field-goal rate was easily the worst during his five years with the Bears. Unless Chicago is able to put together a much better offense next year, Santos may not be able to reach his potential for fantasy football.
