Rookie Tory Taylor boots the Bears to a near-record

The only thing that stood between Tory Taylor and the best punting day in Bears history was the rookie doing what he was supposed to do — punting a ball 35 yards to pin the Rams at the 8 with 1:03 to play Sunday.

Before that, Taylor was averaging 60.5 yards per punt, which would be a Bears record dating to at least 1960. That includes his best boot of the game, a 66-yarder earlier in the fourth quarter than rolled out of bounds at the 8.

Tory Taylor is hyped after his incredible 66-yard punt!
