“He made a personal decision, and us being teammates and a family, we’ve just got to support our guys no matter what they do,” Trubisky said.
Parkey had been under fire in Chicago well before the playoffs after he missed a league-high 10 kicks , seven field goals and three extra points, during the regular season.
