Regrets
Cody Parkey Off an Upright and the Crossbar: That was unfair. The kick wasn’t really that mishit—I’ve never seen one bounce quote like that. Trubisky and the offense made the exact plays they had to make on that final drive, also set up by Tarik Cohen making a play on the kick return. No disrespect to the Eagles, who certainly deserved to win on Sunday, but that ending was too much for the impartial football person to stomach. (Update that won't make Bears fans feel better but will get everyone off Cody Parkey's case: Treyvon Hester says Treyvon Hester tipped the kick, and no one would know about the physical and emotional sensations of the kick brushing off Treyvon Hester's fingers better than Treyvon Hester.)
