Bears running back David Montgomery (32) scores on a two-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter of the Bears’ 27-24 loss to the Falcons on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Running back David Montgomery didn’t have anything to say after the Bears’ 27-24 loss to the Falcons on Sunday, and didn’t add much Monday on the fateful final offensive play — a too-high Justin Fields pass that Montgomery had to leap for, but went off his hands and was intercepted by Falcons safety Jaylinn Hawkins with 1:07 left in the game.

“It was a ball, it hit my hands,” Montgomery said.
