LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Bears coach John Fox emphasized on Monday that the team’s replay booth agreed with Fox’s decision to challenge referee Tony Corrente’s ruling that Benny Cunningham was down at Green Bay’s 2-yard line in the first half of Sunday’s 23-16 loss to the Packers.
Because Fox pushed for officials to review the play, Cunningham was ultimately ruled to have lost control of the ball before it hit the pylon in the front corner of the end zone, therefore giving possession to Green Bay in the form of a touchback.
