What a difference a week makes in the life of an NFL kicker.
A Sunday removed from doinking four kicks off the uprights, Cody Parkey goes three for three on field goals for the Chicago Bears to help them to a 25-20 win against the Minnesota Vikings. His sort of perfect day — one of his kickoffs went out of bounds — earned him the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week award.
On the season, Parkey is now 16 for 21 on FGs (76.2%) and 30 for 32 on extra points.
