Cody Parkey just can’t catch a break.
The Chicago Bears kicker has been crucified since his double-doink miss against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. He’s been Venmo’d by Eagles fans, destroyed by Rex Ryan and seen his Wikipedia page brutally altered since the crushing missed field goal, which would’ve sent the Bears to the NFC Divisional Round.
(All this while the NFL officially — and correctly — changed the miss to a blocked field goal.)
And now skyscrapers have gotten in on the fun.
Take a look at this clip of Philly’s PECO building on Monday night:

That’s tough.
It’s difficult to not feel bad for Parkey, who has fielded all the blame for a loss in which the Bears’ offense managed just 15 points. But hey, that’s the life of a kicker.
