The Minnesota Vikings kicking sorrows are seared into the temporal lobes of anybody associated with the organization. From Gary Anderson, Blair Walsh, Daniel Carlson, Kaare Vedvik, to Dan Bailey, “it’s always something” with Vikings kickers over the last quarter-century.
Before Week 14 of the 2020 season, Minnesota’s current kicker, Dan Bailey, largely escaped wholesale criticism. His performance since joining the team in 2018 has been rather reliable. And, for Vikings loyalists, decent kicking is outstanding kicking. Sign a man on the dotted line that can drill reasonable kicks when the stakes are the highest – is a fair synopsis of the mentality.
