The Chicago Bears are not happy about what happened on Sunday at Soldier Field.

The Bears lost in heartbreaking fashion for an 11th straight defeat against the Green Bay Packers, and head coach Matt Eberflus is piping hot mad over their final play.

Packers defensive lineman Karl Brooks saved the game for his team after he got his hand on the football on Cairo Santos’ field goal attempt as the clock expired. His block gave the Packers a 20-19 victory over Chicago.

The loss meant the Chicago Bears have not beaten the Packers since the 2018 season.

Now, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is not going down without a fight. He revealed he plans to ask the NFL to review Karl Brooks’ blocked field goal, which gave the Green Bay Packers a dramatic win Sunday.

During his Monday press conference, Eberflus made it clear that the team believes Brooks made direct contact with long-snapper Scott Daly on the play. If that happens, it should always trigger a penalty, but none was thrown.

“We’ll turn the play in,” he said. “They were on our long-snapper, so we’ll turn the play in and see what the league said. We saw them making direct contact with him right away.”

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.

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.
