REPORT: Chicago Bears Will File Complaint With NFL After Catching The Green Bay Packers Blatantly Cheating During Their Game-Winning Field-Goal Block

NFL rules state that a center who is attempting a snap during a field goal attempt is considered to be in a “defenseless posture,” and any “unnecessary contact” on a defenseless player is considered to be a penalty of 15 yards and an automatic first down.

Chicago Bears HC Matt Eberflus Defends Playcalling Ahead of Blocked Field Goal

The Chicago Bears were in prime territory to walk out with a victory in front of their crowd before tragedy struck.

Instead, the Bears lost their fourth consecutive game due to a blocked field goal attempt as time expired against the Green Bay Packers.

Sunday’s game was especially frustrating due to Matt Eberflus’s questionable late-game decision-making.

The offense had the ball with 35 seconds left and made no effort to gain any more yards.

The Chicago Bears head coach defended his decision.

“They were loading the box there,” Eberflus said, per Pro Football Talk. “You could say you could do that for sure, maybe get a couple more yards, but you’re also going to risk fumbling and different things there. We felt where we were, if we’re at the 36 or 35, you definitely want to do that because you want to get it inside there. I felt very confident where we were at that time with the wind and where we were on the field.”
