Cody Parkey became a household name after the Wild Card game between the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles. Not because he did something great, but because he he was called upon to knock down a 43-yard field goal and send the Bears to the Divisional round of the playoffs.
As we all know, he hit that ball off the upright and then the crossbar as it fell to the ground. That sent Soldier Field into a frenzy as Bears fans booed him off the field.
The NFL would later come in and change the missed field goal to a blocked field goal.
After the game, Parkey made it clear that he was going home to his wife and his dog that don’t care about what just happened during the game.
After a quick look at his wife’s Instagram page, you can see why he was ready to go home.

Besides his wife, Parkey has $9 million guaranteed for him next season, so his morale might be down, but his pockets are surely up.
