The end result? A heartbreaking 29-27 defeat at the hands of the unbeaten Los Angeles Rams on Sunday that brought the Packers' winning percentage right back down to earth at .500 with a 3-3-1 record.
A good duration of the game proved to be promising for the most part, and the Packers, who were nine-point underdogs, nearly started off the toughest part of their schedule with a win.
The chips just didn't fall that way, and while the blame doesn't fall on the Packers' running back's shoulders alone, those situations require split-second decisions to be made. Montgomery's ended up being the incorrect one, apparently.
