Tate, who the Lions traded to the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles mid-season, caught what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown at Soldier Field to knock Detroit's NFC North rival out of the playoffs in the Wild Card Round, 16-15.

January 7, 2019 The Bears had one last chance to get into field goal range and win the game. They did put together a solid, quick drive to get into managable range, but Cody Parkey's kick hit off the left upright then bounced out off the crossbar, ending quite the wild playoff game.

January 7, 2019 Parkey's boink off the upright is a similarly haunting sight for Bears fans -- something he did four times in a game against the Lions earlier this season.
Less than 2 months ago, Cody Parkey hit the goal post 4 times in a game. In Chicago.Listen to the BOINKS. In 5 minutes, it could come down to Parkeyhttps://t.co/0Laeg1zkMF
