PHILADELPHIA (AP) — pro a popular guy in Philadelphia.The Eagles (10-7) are heading to New Orleans (13-3) for a divisional playoff game Sunday because Hester barely tipped Cody Parkey's 43-yard field-goal attempt just enough to send the ball bouncing off the upright and crossbar Womens Dallas Goedert Jersey , securing a 16-15 win at Chicago in the wild-card round."It's crazy. My social media (following) tripled," Hester said Friday. The 6-foot-2, 304-pound defensive tackle didn't even see where the ball went after he touched it."I felt I didn't get enough of it because when I looked back, it looked like it was on the right path," Hester said. "I turned back and it bounced off and the rest was history. I didn't see it bounce off because I was so frustrated. I heard the reaction of the crowd and saw the team running out there. It was a surprise. I couldn't believe it happened."Hester began the season on Philadelphia's practice squad after Oakland released him at the end of training camp. He was a seventh-round pick by the Raiders out of Toledo in 2017 and appeared in 14 games as a rookie.The Eagles promoted him to the active roster in October and he worked himself into becoming a part of the defensive line rotation. Hester has played anywhere between 16 and 58 percent of the snaps in 12 games. He got his first NFL sack on Deshaun Watson in Week 16 and was on the field for 12 snaps against the Bears."Treyvon has come up big for us," defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said. "He got his hand up and did what he was supposed to do at the right time and we were able to get the win."Hester is surrounded by talented, experienced guys on the defensive line Authentic Corey Clement Jersey , including All-Pro Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, Chris Long, Tim Jernigan and Haloti Ngata."I'm trying to make a name for myself but I got a lot of vets out here helping me out, helping me improve my game, so I'm grateful," he said. "Without Haloti Ngata http://www.philadelphiaeaglesteamonlines.com/sidney-jones-jersey , I wouldn't have been able to get the push that I got because we both get down there and try to get the guy in front of us out of the way, so credit to him."Hester said it was the first time he blocked a field goal in his career and it was the first one in the postseason in franchise history."First of many," Hester said. "It's definitely a big confidence booster and I would like to continue to make more plays and help this team win any way I can."Hester has found his role on the Eagles, giving the defending Super Bowl champions an opportunity to continue their quest for a repeat."It's fulfilling," Hester said. "Philadelphia proved me right, allowed me to show what I can do. I owe them everything."Notes: LT Jason Peters (quadriceps), DE Michael Bennett (foot) Womens Jason Kelce Jersey , CB Sidney Jones (hamstring), WR Mike Wallace (ankle), WR Shelton Gibson (hamstring) and LB D.J.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cody Parkey got an excuse he probably won't use.Parkey's missed 43-yard field goal in the final seconds that gave the Philadelphia Eagles a 16-15 upset win over the Chicago Bears in Sunday's wild-card playoff game was officially ruled a block by the NFL. Video showed Philadelphia's Treyvon Hester tipped the ball, which bounced off the upright and hit the crossbar.Parkey was booed by Bears fans as he ran off the field after kneeling down with teammates and opponents for a postgame prayer. He accepted responsibility for the loss afterward."There's really no answer to it," Parkey said. "I thought I hit a good ball. Unfortunately, I didn't make it. I feel terrible, 100 percent take that loss on me. It is what it is. Sun is going to shine tomorrow. Life is going to go on. Unfortunately Womens Carson Wentz Jersey , it's going to sting for a while."Eagles coach Doug Pederson on Monday praised Hester, who began the season on the practice squad, for having "a big hand in the game" and the team posted on it was the first blocked field goal in the franchise's postseason history.The Eagles took a one-point lead when Nick Foles threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate with 56 seconds remaining. Mitchell Trubisky drove the Bears into position to win it, but Parkey's kick didn't go through. Philadelphia plays at New Orleans next Sunday.Hester's block should absolve Parkey from blame, though Bears fans certainly won't let him forget it anytime soon. Parkey's teammates stood by him after the game and players around the country quickly expressed their support on social media.NBA star Dwyane Wade wrote on : "Most of you have no idea how hard this is to do. Cody Parkey way to face the media like a true professional. I'm a fan!"Eagles kicker Jake Elliott wrote: "This is a standup guy that a lot of young players can look up to. This is how you handle adversity like a pro. Cody is a heck of a kicker and will be for a long time. No reason to be taking the heat he is especially when that ball was tipped. #ClassAct"The Philadelphia Flyers poked fun at Parkey during Monday night's game against St. Louis. Gritty, the team's googily-eyed mascot, kicked a field goal blindfolded in the stands during a "Cody Parkey Challenge" and fans roared Womens Darren Sproles Jersey , breaking into the "Fly! Eagles! Fly!" fight song when the missed kick was shown on the video screen.
