The Philadelphia Eagles won their wild-card playoff game on Sunday in stunning fashion when Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey missed a partially blocked field goal that would have won the game in the closing seconds. After the game, someone set up a Venmo page so grateful Eagles fans could send cash to Parkey, who made the Pro Bowl when playing for Philadelphia in 2014. "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle," wrote one fan alongside a donation. The defending Super Bowl champions will next play the top-seeded Saints in New Orleans on Sunday.
