“The Double Doink”

With a slight deflection from lineman Treyvon Hester, Cody Parkey’s would-be game-winning 43 yard field goal sails into the Soldier Field upright, then bounces off the crossbar.

Eagles hold on to defeat the Bears 16-15 in the Wild Card round.

The Eagles now own the 68th pick (third round) in the 2026 NFL Draft, after completing a trade with the New York Jets.

In 2024, the Eagles traded Haason Reddick to the Jets for a conditional 2026 pick that could've been as high as a second-rounder (though those conditions were not met).

Of every 2000 yard rusher, Saquon Barkley has posted the fifth-most yards in the ensuing season.
