The Bears’ north end zone is littered with the ghosts of Bears kickers past — or at least those who came after Robbie Gould.
In Week 11 of 2017, Connor Barth — the original Robbie Replacement— pushed a potential game-tying 46-yard field goal so far right into Soldier Field’s north end zone hat it was barely captured by the television camera, which instead focused on the Bears’ mascot. Wearing an old-timey suit to match the Bears’ throwback uniforms, Staley dropped to his knees, dejected, as the Lions celebrated a 27-24 win. Barth was cut the next day and never kicked in a regular season game again.
