Whether in a bar, in the privacy of their own homes or at a party with friends, Eagles fans went wild after Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey missed a 43-yard field goal that would have sent Philadelphia packing.
Whether in a bar, in the privacy of their own homes or at a party with friends, Eagles fans went wild after Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey missed a 43-yard field goal that would have sent Philadelphia packing.
Instead, Philly went crazy.
It all came down to Parkey, he of the 10 missed kicks in the regular season – including hitting four uprights in a win over the Detroit Lions on November 11th – who had a chance to give Chicago its first playoff win since 2010.
