Last week, it was Bears kicker Cody Parkey who was the sob story of the NFL playoffs. He "double-doinked" a field goal that would've sent the Bears to the next round with a win over the Eagles.

This week, though, it's an Eagle who is the league-wide goat. Alshon Jeffery let a perfect pass from Nick Foles go right through his fingers. It wound up getting intercepted by Marshon Lattimore.

That play cost Philadelphia any hope at a comeback, thus ending their Super Bowl title defense. As a result, the Saints advanced to the NFC Championship Game against the Rams next Sunday.
That's a rough moment for a guy who, back in December, said he has "the best hands in the league."
Twitter was unkind to Jeffery. Shocking. I know.
A quick search of Jeffery's name under the "photos" section resulted in a few of these beauties.

At least Jeffery took ownership of the loss.

Jeffery's coach, Doug Pederson, came to the aid of his wide receiver.

Quarterback Nick Foles did as well.

The guy who should be thanking Jeffery is Saints kicker Will Lutz. He pushed a field goal wide right with 3:03 left. That miss set up the Eagles drive, which could've resulted in another Philadelphia road win.
And a new companion for Parkey in the kicker dog house.
