The Robbie Gould game. Five field goals. The game-winning 24-yard dagger with four seconds remaining. An animated and emotional celebration directed at Fox and special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers.

Cobb was rumored to be the Cubs' top offseason target, but their interest may be waning considering that he's just two years removed from Tommy John surgery and his price tag may be rising into risky territory.
