Bears RB David Montgomery blames Packers’ home-field advantage for ruling on fourth-and-goal

There always seems to be some kind of controversy with the officiating at Lambeau Field, and that was the case in the Bears’ 27-10 loss to the Packers on Sunday night.

With the Bears trailing 24-10 in the fourth quarter and facing fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line, quarterback Justin Fields took the snap from shotgun and ran it right up the middle. He was ruled short of the goal line.

But after a closer look, you could see the ball break the plane. Chicago challenged the call, but the call stood, and that officially ended any hopes of another second-half comeback.
