Aftermath after the drama: The Chicago Bears officially file a complaint with the NFL after the bitter defeat against the Green Bay Packers. It’s about the blocked field goal.
The drama finale in the NFL game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers (7:20 p.m.) on Sunday is getting a sequel.
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus announced that Chicago will file a complaint with the NFL about the decision surrounding the blocked field goal in the final sequence of the game.

The Bears had victory on their feet with kicker Cairo Santos, but his attempt from 46 yards with the clock running out was blocked by Packers player Karl Brooks. From Eberflus’ point of view, this was a violation of the rules.
“We will [bei der Liga] “Submit,” he said. Specifically, Eberflus said that there was direct contact between the Packers and Bears long snapper Scott Daly. However, this is prohibited by NFL rules.

“They were on our long snapper, so we’re going to file a complaint and see what the league says,” the 54-year-old said. However, any assessment by the NFL no longer has an impact on the result.
For the Bears it was the eleventh defeat in a row against Green Bay; Chicago last won against their NFC North rival in 2018. After the fourth defeat in a row, the air is gradually getting thinner for Ebeflus.
