“Doink.” Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey missed a game-winning field goal in the final seconds against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. And everyone in Philly is celebrating and piling on.

Parkey’s kick struck the left goal post and then bounced off the bottom of the post failing to go through for the points.

On Monday the kick was ruled blocked after replays showed Eagles’ Treyvon Hester got a finger on the ball causing it to miss. But details…

Monday night the PECO Building in downtown Philly rolled a graphic on it’s digital board of the double-doink missed kick.

NBC Sports Philadelphia posted video building’s graphic to its Twitter page:

With the 16-15 Wild Card win, the Eagles advance to face the Saints in New Orleans for the Divisional Round game on Sunday.

Here’s one more look at the missed field goal.
