Eagles DT Treyvon Hester tipped Cody Parkey’s missed field goal

For a good hour or two, NFL fans were certain Cody Parkey just simply missed that field goal. But frame-by-frame footage was caught showing Eagles DT Treyvon Hester just getting a piece of the ball that probably caused the miss:

If you watch the video closely, you can see Hester’s finger bend back as he hits the ball. The fact that the ball just hit the upright, shows that Hester’s little tip may have caused the ball to change direction. Wow. Below are better photos:

Hester reportedly confirmed it himself:

Dude had to be in the locker room saying “bro I’m telling you I touched the ball..I’m telling you”
