NFL Confirms Packers' Game-Winning Field Goal Block Against Bears Was Legal

The league reviewed the controversial play and determined no rules were violated, despite the Bears' formal protest.

The Chicago Bears submitted a formal inquiry to the NFL, alleging the Packers illegally contacted their long snapper during the final play of the game.
The play involved Packers defensive lineman Karl Brooks blocking Cairo Santos' 46-yard field goal attempt, securing Green Bay's 20-19 victory.
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus claimed Packers player T.J. Slaton made illegal contact with long snapper Scott Daly, which could have resulted in a 15-yard penalty.
After review, the NFL's officiating office informed the Bears that the play was clean and did not violate league rules regarding long snapper protection.
The loss dropped the Bears to a 4-6 record, extending their losing streak to four games, while the Packers improved to 7-3 in the NFC North standings.
