Cody Parkey is taking a beating on social media after missing the game-winning kick versus the Eagles, but his missed kick might not be entirely his fault. The kick that double doinked off of the upright and crossbar before landing inside the field of play may have been tipped by Eagles defensive tackle Treyvon Hester.
Some Twitter detectives slowed down the video and noticed that the trajectory and spin of the ball changed after possibly making contact with Hester’s fingertips. Parkey has struggled this season with kicking, but this could explain why his second attempt after he was frozen by an Eagles timeout was so different from the first. Flip the page for the video and decide for yourself.
