Vikes' Daniel Carlson cites lacking confidence for miss of game-winner

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Minnesota Vikings rookie kicker Daniel Carlson attributed missing a game-winning field goal as time expired in overtime to a lack of confidence after he missed two kicks earlier in Minnesota's 29-29 tie with the Packers.

In total, Carlson went 0-for-3 on field goals in Week 2, which began with a missed 48-yard field goal in the second quarter that would have brought the Vikings within four points of the Packers. Both of Carlson's kicks in overtime -- from distances of 49 and 35 yards -- sailed wide right.
