In a way, Cody Parkey picked the right day to have the worst day of his career.
The Chicago Bears flattened the Detroit Lions on Sunday, so Parkey’s two missed field goals and two missed extra points didn’t make an impact in terms of the outcome of the game.
What was more amazing about Parkey’s day is that he didn’t miss the kicks by much, he was just a few combined feet of making all four of those kicks as all four of those missed kicks hit the upright.
As the Bears record improved to 6-3, suddenly it wasn’t just about a kicker that had a bad game, it was about a kicker that had a bad game, missed a huge kick against Miami, and now might be a liability on a team that appears headed to the playoffs.
