Stir together the cream cheese, ¼ cup sour cream, and ranch seasoning until well combined.

Fold in the shredded cheese, green onions, and half the bacon bits.

Form the mixture into a football shape and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.

Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

Coat the cheese ball in bacon bits until fully covered.

Transfer the remaining cream cheese to a piping bag. Cut the tip off the bag and pipe the laces on top of the football before serving.
