Cody Parkey lined up and sank his first attempt at a game-winner, but reigning Super Bowl champions the Philadelphia Eagles called a timeout in an attempt to ice him just before the snap.
On his second try, the fifth-year kicker bizarrely hit both the left upright and the crossbar, causing Chicago to lose 16-15 in a remarkable ending as Soldier Field fell silent.
Coming into the wildcard clash, Parkey had missed the second-most kicks in the NFL.
Parkey hit the uprights four times in one game against the Detroit Lions earlier this season, but this miss meant so much more.
Parkey actually kicked for Philadelphia during the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons and went on to play for the Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins as well.
Christmas has come and gone, but Nick Foles did his best St Nick impression my delivering another one of his signature miracles.
The Eagles will take on the top ranked New Orleans Saints on January 13.
