Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos says he takes the blame for the "stink" on the field goal unit.

The Bears had three field goal attempts blocked in a season since 2012 .

The Vikings say they knew Santos ' low trajectory kicks, combined with weaknesses in Chicago 's protection.

Santos: "It's a learning curve for me too, and I take responsibility for that".

Santos had a successful onside kick on the ensuing drive, but the Bears' recent struggles on special teams will prompt coach Matt Eberflus to seek more involvement with that unit ahead of Thursday 's game against the Detroit Lions . "Yeah, no doubt," Eberflus said. "When you have issues on any part of the team, you got to get involved. We have to make sure we clean up those things.".
