Bears coach Matt Nagy likes his kicker’s new nickname: Eddy Dinero.
After making three field goals — including a 53-yarder at the gun Sunday — Eddy Pineiro deserves to be called money.
“The players love him and he’s got that swag,” Nagy said Monday after the Bears’ 16-14 win against the Broncos. “That’s who we are as a team, and, supposedly, he’s got a new nickname now, too.”
After the Bears boarded their airplane Sunday night, Pineiro thanked Nagy for the opportunity to make the team — and win the game,
“His personality is infectious,” Nagy said. “Just because, when you say a likable guy, we all know when you have somebody that’s just a good person, they smile all the time, they thank you and please all the time, they’re very gracious, they’re very humble. That’s who he is as a person.”
