Nothing has gone right for the Chicago Bears against the Kansas City Chiefs. But there was one thing that did in the fourth quarter — something that brings back bad memories for Bears fans.
Following a Patrick Mahomes touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker stepped up to kick what should’ve been an easy extra point. Instead, Butker’s kick bounced off the goal posts twice — a double doink — before falling incomplete.
There must be something about that North endzone at Soldier Field, because it also happened to be the spot of Cody Parkey’s infamous double-doink in last year’s Wild Card playoffs.
Bears fans will remember, not-so-fondly, Parkey’s missed 43-yard field goal as time expired. In fact, Matt Nagy refused to let his team forget it, as he crafted an entire kicking competition around it.
Parkey’s double-doink is still fresh in the minds of Bears’ fans, and it doesn’t help with Chicago eliminated from playoff contention and headed into an offseason with a slew of questions.
In a game where nothing seemed to go right for the Bears, they finally got the better end of a double doink.
The Bears trail the Chiefs 23-3 late in the fourth quarter.
