ss Packers Owner Ed Policy Submits 100GB of Evidence and 60-Page Report to NFL, Accusing Officials of Bias in 31–27 Playoff Loss to Bears, Demands Full Investigation

The Green Bay Packers have formally escalated their dispute with the NFL following their devastating 31–27 Wild Card playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. Team owner Ed Policy submitted a massive 100GB evidence package alongside a 60-page analytical report to league offices, alleging inconsistent officiating and demanding a full, independent investigation.

According to team sources, the submission ranks among the most detailed officiating complaints the NFL has received in recent seasons. The dossier reportedly includes All-22 film, ultra-high-definition slow-motion replays, sideline audio, and advanced player-tracking data. Packers executives argue that several missed or inconsistent calls occurred at critical leverage points, ultimately shaping the outcome of a one-score playoff game.

The collapse at Soldier Field still looms large. Green Bay entered halftime with a commanding 21–3 lead, only to watch momentum swing sharply in the fourth quarter as Chicago surged behind rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. While special teams mistakes and missed kicks dominated headlines, the Packers’ report places equal emphasis on officiating decisions — and non-decisions — during pivotal snaps.

One sequence highlighted extensively involves quarterback Jordan Love. During the second half, Love was sacked by Bears edge rusher Austin Booker on what Packers-affiliated outlets described as a violent, high-impact hit. According to the report, video evidence shows potential helmet-to-helmet contact and a forceful finish that, in Green Bay’s view, met the threshold for roughing the passer. No flag was thrown. Officials ruled the play a clean sack, and Love quickly got up and continued the drive.

The Packers argue that the lack of a penalty stood in stark contrast to similar calls made elsewhere during the 2025 season, raising concerns about inconsistent enforcement standards. The report reportedly compares the Booker hit to multiple roughing-the-passer penalties called league-wide on comparable or lesser contact.

Beyond that play, the filing outlines disputed pass-interference decisions, missed holds in high-leverage situations, and what the team characterizes as a shifting officiating threshold as the fourth quarter unfolded. The Packers stress that their complaint is not about volume of penalties, but timing — moments where a single call or no-call altered field position, momentum, and win probability.

In a statement attached to the submission, Policy emphasized that the issue extends beyond one game. “This is not about excuses,” the statement read. “This is about competitive integrity. When standards change without explanation in playoff football, the league owes players, coaches, and fans transparency.”

The NFL has not yet issued an official response. However, league insiders believe the Packers’ filing could reignite broader discussions around referee accountability, expanded replay authority, and clearer definitions for quarterback protection in postseason games.

Chicago advances on the scoreboard. But in Green Bay, the battle has shifted to film rooms, data servers, and league offices — where the Packers are making it clear they will not allow their season to end without answers.
