The weather conditions for Saturday’s Chicago Bears-Buffalo Bills game at Soldier Field won’t be ideal for a kicker who has experienced issues in recent weeks.
But Cairo Santos is doing his best to prepare for a forecast that calls for a temperature of 9 degrees with a windchill of minus-11 and potential wind gusts of more than 30 mph at kickoff.Santos said he and Bears long snapper Patrick Scales and punter/holder Trenton Gill likely won’t go to Soldier Field to practice because of the impending storm, but they will work outside Thursday and Friday to prepare for the wind and cold.
Santos said he had kicked from the right hash for eight years, but a “glitch” in his visuals from that spot prompted him to move to the middle. He made both second-half PATs from the middle, and he said Wednesday’s practice also showed promise while kicking from the middle. He might also kick from the left, depending on the wind, he said.
