Internet reacts to Bears' last-second missed field goal
Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey missed a 43-yard field goal with seconds remaining in Sunday's wild-card game that would've sent his team to the divisional round. The Philadelphia Eagles held on for a 16-15 victory after Parkey's attempt hit the upright and crossbar before falling to the ground.
It was a cruel ending to the game, but the internet lives for these moments. Here are the best reactions to Saturday's conclusion.
Cody Parkey will be hearing doinks in his nightmares tonight.

I know icing the kicker is within the rules and all that but especially when the guy makes the first one but misses the second it feels like watching someone offer a small child a candy bar and then take it away.

Kickers low key have the most pressure. You don’t really appreciate them either until they mess up

It's the 6th time this season he's hit an upright/crossbar on a missed field goal or extra point, double that of any other kicker. pic.twitter.com/UqilPePH0P
