Blair Walsh's career-long NFL field goal is 56 yards. Sunday might be a good day to top it. For the first time in his four-year career, the Vikings' kicker will play a game in Denver.
Walsh kicked for Georgia in a college game at Colorado, where Boulder's altitude is 5,430 feet, so he knows what it's like to kick in thin air.
The altitude at the Broncos' Sports Authority Field is 5,280.
"You've got to really focus on trying not to kill the ball because it's just going to go an extra five yards, at least, in the altitude," Walsh said.
