They will live together in Vikings infamy, and apparently as phone buddies.
Their names are Blair Walsh and Gary Anderson and they both know what it feels like to shoot Vikings’ fans hopes right in the heart by missing a big postseason field goal.
Anderson’s epic fail happened late in the 1998 NFC championship game. After not missing a single kick all season, the veteran yanked the field goal that would have given the Vikings a commanding 10-point lead over the Falcons.
The Vikings saw the Falcons tie the game in regulation and win in overtime.
