There wasn’t anything special about the Bears’ special teams unit on Sunday night. Kicker Connor Barth scored his first field goal in a Bears uniform. Punter Pat O’Donnell placed one of his four punts inside the 20-yard line. Kick returner Deonte Thompson had only one kick return for 22 yards, while Eddie Royal averaged just eight yards on two punt returns. The special teams unit potentially could’ve had the play of the game on an onside-kick recovery in the second quarter had Jonathan Anderson not been flagged for a questionable offside penalty.
