Score two points in loss Santos did not attempt a field goal in the Bears' 23-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday.
Impact The Bears were driving late in the fourth quarter for a potential game-tying field goal, but Caleb Williams took a sack and then wasted the final 32 seconds. As a result, the only action Santos had was a pair of extra-point attempts. On the season, the kicker has posted more than seven points twice, and he remains a low-floor fantasy option.
