CHICAGO — Cairo Santos had a field goal blocked — again. DeAndre Carter muffed a punt at a key moment in the second half. And those were just the special teams mistakes for the struggling Chicago Bears. Santos' blocked field goal and Carter's turnover were part of another sloppy performance for Chicago in its fifth consecutive loss. The pair of miscues helped set up two of Minnesota's three touchdowns in a 30-27 overtime victory. The Bears closed out a miserable three-game homestand. They were in position to beat Green Bay last weekend before Santos' 46-yard field goal was blocked on the final play of the Packers' 20-19 win.
