NFL world reacts to Cody Parkey's missed field goal image

Bears kicker Cody Parkey's missed 43-yard field goal that bounced off the upright and crossbar served as a devastating conclusion to Chicago's worst-to-first season in the NFC North.

On the other side of things, it moved the Eagles onto the divisional round of the postseason and closer to their quest to repeat as Super Bowl champions.

Parkey's miss was preceded by Super Bowl 52 MVP Nick Foles' go-ahead touchdown pass to Golden Tate that put Philadelphia up for good.

Parkey had made all three of his field goal attempts earlier in the game, but his miss in the fourth quarter was his 11th of the season.

The collective football world sounded off about the missed field goal, including quotes from those involved in the game and a couple of speechless Eagles on Twitter.

"What would my message be? F— you. You’re not in our position. You don’t know how hard this s— is," Bears tackle Charles Leno when asked what his message would be to fans who harassed Parkey.
