Replay shows Cody Parkey's missed kick was possibly tipped

Cody Parkey is having a rough end to the weekend with the Chicago Bears. He missed what could have been a game-winning field goal for the organization against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon and it knocked Chicago out of the first round of the playoffs. He has been criticized heavily on social media and by media pundits for his performance, but one Eagles defender may have gotten his hand on the football.

Scott Gustin of Tribune Media posted the frame-by-frame shot above. It appears in the clip that the ball may have hit off a defenders hand. Eagles defensive lineman Treyvon Hester confirmed after the game that he had tipped the ball, via Bo Wulf of The Athletic Philadelphia.

Parkey had a chance to change the narrative surrounding himself with the kick but the ball went off the upright and then off the crossbar before falling to the turf. The entire life of the stadium was sucked out on the play and players such as Mitch Trubisky and Akiem Hicks were spotted on the sidelines in pure disbelief of the miss. After the game, a dejected Parkey commented on the miss.

"I thought I hit a good ball and unfortunately I didn’t make it," Parkey said after the game, via JJ Stankevitz of NBC Sports Chicago. "I feel terrible. I 100 percent take that loss on me. It is what it is. But sun’s gonna shine tomorrow, life’s gonna go on and unfortunately it’s going to sting for a while."

The veteran kicker joined the Bears this offseason as a free-agent signing. Parkey spent the 2014-15 seasons with the Eagles before joining the Cleveland Browns in 2016. During his time in Cleveland, he worked with current Bears special teams coordinator Chris Tabor. He spent the entire 2016 season with the Miami Dolphins. He entered the year having made 86.4 percent of his attempts in his career going 76-of-88 over the previous four seasons. He made 6-of-7 attempts from 50-plus yards but was just 18-of-27 from 40-49 yards out.

Accuracy was the name of Parkey's game entering the year and the Bears knew he struggled with long kicks. He ended the regular season by making just 23 of his 30 field-goal attempts. After knocking four kicks off the uprights against the Detroit Lions back in Week 10, Parkey won the NFC's Special Teams Player of the Week the following week against the Minnesota Vikings. It became headline news in Chicago when he was spotted practicing his kicks at Soldier Field at night with helicopters recording his practice from above.

Head coach Matt Nagy was firmly on Parkey's side all season long despite the misses.

Doesn't matter. Doesn't give him a pass for the other misses. Dude will be toast. Fans hate him.

Think about it. If That Kickers last kick in 95 was partially tipped, would it have changed your opinion of him?

Mile High Mania · 01-07-2019, 07:37 AM

Still, that guy had a rough year.

What’s funny is I saw his full $3.5m salary next year is already guaranteed. So he isn’t going anywhere.

Not if he kept his head down, I doubt it, until it was past the line of scrimmage, then I would assume he looked up to follow the flight.

His kick before the time out was PERFECT!

Bears never should've cut Gould.

Kick it higher!

Bear fans so upset here in Chicago that they don’t even want to talk about it. I get it. My closest experience to this was years ago I attended a Chiefs game with my girlfriend who I later married. I believe it was 2011. December game, perfect weather, against the Raiders for a trip to the playoffs. Raiders blocked the game winning field goal to keep us out of the playoffs. We were sitting in the end zone and heard the sickest sound of the FG being blocked.

kcclone · 01-07-2019, 09:03 AM

I'm assuming he packed up his locker and left with the intention of never stepping foot in the City of Chicago again?

Frazod · 01-07-2019, 09:04 AM

On the train, going through Union Station, and walking to the office this morning, I didn't see ONE piece of Bears gear. Not one.

It is also cold, windy and raining. Perfectly miserable day for Chicago fans.
