MINNEAPOLIS — Bears kicker Cairo Santos celebrated his game-winning field goal in the locker room with a Vikings-themed dance.
When coach Ben Johnson gave Santos the game ball after Sunday’s 19-17 win against the Vikings, the kicker did the “griddy” but clapped his hands over his head as if he was doing the Vikings’ “Skol” chant.
In the video posted of the Bears’ postgame celebration, coach Ben Johnson pointed to the growth the team has shown since blowing a fourth-quarter lead to the same Vikings in the season opener.
“How similar was that to the first game we played against those guys? …” he asked. “We learned from that and it took all three phases there are the end for us to win.”
Johnson also gave game balls to Devin Duvernay, who returned a kickoff 56 yards with 42 seconds to play, and president/CEO Kevin Warren, who helped build U.S. Bank Stadium as a Vikings executive.
Rodgers, now with the Steelers, got hurt Sunday, and ESPN reported he has “a slight break” in his non-throwing wrist.

The Bears’ path to their seventh win in 10 games wasn’t a straight line Sunday. It was a diagonal one that started when Devin Duvernay caught the ball at his own 4 with a one-point deficit and 50 seconds to play.
