If the Bears aren't going to onside kick, they have to kick it out of bounds and save the 2 minute warning. That was beyond stupid.

I thought they were trying to have Santos kick it out of the end zone, but his leg isn't strong enough (if it is, he missed the kick, but he's not known for a strong leg). I would have had him kick it out of bounds too (in a perfect world, have him aim at the pylon and if he can kick it out of bounds in the end zone, even better). But time was more important than yardage in that situation.
