Jackson put those skills on display on multiple occasions in last Sunday’s dramatic 16-14 road win over the Broncos. In the first quarter, he forced Denver to punt after making an excellent open-field tackle of 6-5, 251-pound tight end Jeff Heuerman a yard short of a first down. On the...

Piñeiro’s first two field goals were from 40 and 52 yards. His 53-yarder was the longest game-winner by a Bears kicker since Paul Edinger’s 54-yarder in the 2000 season finale resulted in a 23-20 victory over the Lions in Detroit. Piñeiro also became the first Bears kicker to make two field...

While Pineiro deservedly earned NFC special teams player of the week honors for his performance against the Broncos, he wasn’t the only specialist who excelled in the game. O’Donnell had arguably his best game in six seasons with the Bears, posting career highs in both gross average (57.4) and...

Trailing 14-13 after a Broncos touchdown and two-point conversion, the Bears took over at their own 25 with :31 remaining in the game. At that point, Piñeiro was kicking footballs into a net on the sideline hoping and praying that he’d get a chance to attempt a game-winning field goal. “I was...

The Bears have scored 19 points through two games. Their primary offensive weapon has been kicker Eddy Piñeiro, who entered the season as one of the team's most prominent question marks. However, there was some improvement between the first two weeks. The team put together two second-half...

(2) The accuracy, leg strength and swagger that helped Piñeiro win the Bears’ kicking job all were evident on his game-winning kick. “He has that effort and mentality,” said linebacker Danny Trevathan. “He doesn’t care what’s in front of him. It’s tough being a kicker, especially for the...

Key play: The Bears were still looking for their first touchdown of the season midway through the third quarter Sunday when Cordarrelle Patterson provided a much-needed spark. He took a pitch and raced 46 yards to the Broncos’ 22, eventually setting up David Montgomery's 1-yard TD run. Up...

“That was a crazy one, absolutely crazy,” said coach Matt Nagy. “Just a whirlwind of emotions going back and forth. “In the end, though, the only thing that matters is that we hung together, never ever doubted each other. We kept fighting, we kept plugging away, and we never let a big swing of...

Brandon McManus gave the Broncos a 3-0 lead with a 43-yard field goal on the game’s opening possession. Quarterback Joe Flacco completed 6-of-6 passes for 41 yards on the drive, mostly on short, quick throws. The Bears tied the score 3-3 early in the second quarter on Eddy Pineiro’s 40-yard...
