Doing their best impression of Karl Brooks, the NFL blocked the Chicago Bears’ argument that the Green Bay Packers committed a foul on last Sunday’s game-winning blocked field goal at Soldier Field.
Coach Matt Eberflus and the Bears submitted the play to the league for review, claiming the Packers broke a rule by making illegal contact with the long snapper before the block. Had a penalty been called on the field, the Bears would have gained 15 yards and a second chance to kick the game-winning field goal.
No flag was thrown, and the NFL agreed with the decision.
