That’s what officials told him after throwing a flag for kick-catch interference that had a lasting impact in Sunday’s 21-13 Packers win. Williams fumbled when Patterson hit him, and the Bears recovered the ball. Instead, the Packers moved up to the Bears’ 35 and scored a touchdown four plays later.
At halftime, Patterson checked his phone and saw video replay that he said showed his hit was on time.
