David Montgomery blames Packers' home-field advantage for Bears' negated TD

“We felt we had a good look at it, so we made the challenge,” Eberflus told reporters after the game. “They thought otherwise, and that’s the way it goes sometimes. But we thought it was the best play we had at that point right there for us to score. If we score there, it’s a different ballgame. It’s a one-score game at that point, and we still got a chance right there to win.”

Despite a few camera angles showing Fields break the plane with the ball, the referees deemed there was not enough evidence to overturn the play. 

The turnover-on-downs halted a Chicago 13-play, 89-yard drive and led to a Packers’ scoring drive that milked another five and a half minutes off the clock and pushed their lead to 27-10.

“I [saw] a touchdown,” Montgomery said, via the Chicago Sun-Times. “I was right next to the ball. But, I mean, I wouldn’t expect anything less — we’re not in Soldier Field. Home-field advantage. Next time we’ve just got to be sure that we put it in, no question marks.”

With the loss, the Bears fell to 4-25 against the Packers in the Aaron Rodgers era.
