Wondering about a player, a past game or another issue involving the Bears? Senior writer Larry Mayer answers a variety of email questions from fans on ChicagoBears.com.
When the Packers lineman got injured late in Sunday’s game, why wasn’t there a 10-second run off? Green Bay was out of timeouts and it’s my understanding that that is the rule. Without those 10 seconds, the Packers wouldn’t have had time to kick the winning field goal.

The Packers were out of timeouts, so when left guard Lane Taylor was injured with :54 left in the game, the Bears had the option to accept or decline a 10-second runoff and they chose to decline.
