Double Doink

Cody Parkey's tipped kick off the upright and crossbar ends the Bears' 2018 season.

The Double Doink was the game-ending field goal attempt by Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey in the 2018 NFC Wild Card game against the Philadelphia Eagles on January 6, 2019, at Soldier Field. Parkey's 43-yard attempt was partially blocked by Eagles defensive lineman Treyvon Hester, hit the left upright and then the crossbar and fell back onto the field, and the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles won 16–15.

Background

The term "double doink" took hold after NBC commentator Cris Collinsworth said on the broadcast that "The Bears' season's gonna end on a double doink." A frame-by-frame replay later showed the kick had been tipped by Hester, and the NFL officially ruled the play a block. The NFC North champion Bears finished 12–4; it was Parkey's 11th miss of the season, and he was released two months later.
