Premature snap bounces off Lions QB Jared Goff, falls into hands of Bears defensive lineman
On first-and-goal at the Chicago 8-yard line, Lions center Frank Ragnow prematurely snapped the ball to Goff — who was trying to communicate with teammates at the line — which ricocheted off Goff’s shoulder and bounced directly into the hands of Bears defensive end Bilal Nichols.
The Bears marched down and scored on the ensuing possession to take a 14-0 lead on David Montgomery’s 9-yard rushing touchdown — his second of the game.
