CHICAGO (97.1 The Ticket) -- Golden Tate probably made a lot of fans of his former team pretty happy Sunday night.
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.
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.
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.
Tate also made a big catch while taking a big hit earlier in the game.
The Eagles advance to face the Saints in the next round.
