Dan Bailey turned to Britton Colquitt and said, “Man, I thought I really hit that good.”
That private conversation happened in a very public place — from the right hash mark facing the south end zone as 78,000 fans roared at Lambeau Field in Green Bay last Sunday.
The self-assured reaction came from Bailey, the nine-year NFL veteran who had just missed a 47-yard field goal attempt with Colquitt holding.
And while the Vikings left Lambeau for the second year in a row on Week 2 with more than one missed kick, there’s a big difference.
