A post with “doink” in the title should come 💛with a trigger warning for Chica𝕴go Bears fans. But what if I told you this doink was a good thing?
Well, it was — no, seriously.
This is how the Bears got on the scoreboard:
Cairo Santos continues to impress. He has been one of the NFL’s best kickers since re-joinin൩g the Bears in 2020. And in recent years, Santos has improved his long-distance game. This 53-yarder tied the score at 3-all with the꧋ Houston Texans. And while Chicago’s offense looked better on the first drive, things need to pick up in order to keep up with a high-power Texans team.
(Ed. Note: Yes, I knew that the field goal counts if the kick hits the camera because the camera is behind the crossbar. The bigger overall point I was trying to make was that the doink sound, this time, came on a successful try. You know, unlike that one time that is permanently scarred into our brains. Anyway, the Bears now trail 13-3. Chicago’s offense stalled on its second drive, while the defense gave up a touchdown and another field goal on back-to-back defensive possessions.)
