It was bound to happen. The Chicago Bears’ surprising, entertaining, and, at times, dominant season could only end one way: with a Cody Parkey field goal attempt bouncing off the upright. Chicago’s kicker earned a certain level of infamy earlier in the season after he hit the uprights four separate times in an early November game against the Detroit Lions. It was a statistical anomaly. A near impossibility! Then, he did it again, in Minnesota, during the Bears’ final regular season game of the season. Chicago won that contest despite his doink, and they knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs. They got to play the Philadelphia Eagles instead, and, as a result, set themselves up for Sunday’s predictable conclusion.
