Premature snap bounces off Goff, into hands of Bears D-lineman

CHICAGO — A failed snap between Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff and his center resulted in a bizarre turnover against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday.

On first and goal at the Chicago eight-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 nine-yard rushing touchdown — his second of the game.
