The Green Bay Packers were supposed to have 2:09, one timeout and the two-minute warning for Aaron Rodgers and the offense to get into position for a potentially game-winning field goal against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
But returner Ty Montgomery literally fumbled that chance away — and disobeyed coaches in the process.
Montgomery ignored instructions
Via an inside-the-locker room story by NFL Media’s Mike Silver, Montgomery was told by coaches to field the kickoff from the Rams’ Greg Zuerlein and simply take a knee. It was the safe play, but the smart one, since Rodgers and the offense would be guaranteed to get the ball at their 25.
