NFL: Cody Parkey's missed game-winning field goal against Eagles officially ruled a block

(CHICAGO) FOX 32 News - The end result is the same, but the NFL has officially changed Cody Parkey's missed game-winning field goal against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Wildcard game to a block.

The change by the league was initially reported by the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Eagles defensive tackle Treyvon Hester has been credited with the block, even though the ball continued to travel through the air and hit both the upright and crossbar before dropping to the ground.

Chicago lost the heartbreaker to Philadelphia by a final score of 16-15 on Sunday night at Soldier Field.
