Chicago ultimately was not able to score on the drive as kicker Cairo Santos was just short on the 58-yard field goal attempt.

Even with Rome Odunze coming out strong to open the game with three catches on the Bears' opening possession and four catches in the first quarter, Chicago was unable to find the endzone as it settled for a pair of Cairo Santos field goals to take a 6-0 lead. ..... Chicago had a chance to pull closer as time expired, but Santos 57 57-yarder wound up just short as the Bears were down four at the half. ..... Six completions later, including a pair of first-down strikes to DJ Moore and Coleston Loveland, saw the Bears inching closer to the Ravens' Red Zone, only to have a series of incompletions kill the drive as Santos banged home his third field goal of the day to pull Chicago within 23-16.

It was the fourth field goal of the night for Moody, who was added to the roster last minute after Cairo Santos was ruled inactive, and boy did he come through in a big way.

Do we have a kicking controversy? As good as Cairo Santos has been since coming to Chicago, there has been some rumbling going around camp that he could be on an extremely short leash this season. ..... When it was revealed that Santos would miss Monday's game due to an injury, Moody was elevated, and the rest was history. ..... Still, Moody had as good a Bears debut as Chicago could've hoped for, and it further raises the question of whether Santos will keep his job for the rest of the way.

The biggest news is that starting kicker Cairo Santos is out with a thigh injury. .....
