OK, "good news" is probably too generous. There probably isn't much that can pick up the Vikings kicker right now, not after he missed a 27-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds of Minnesota's 10-9 wild-card loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Working into the wind and with the temperature at minus-6 degrees, Walsh was given laces to kick by holder Jeff Locke and pulled the attempt well left.
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer called the kick a "chip shot" and said "he's got to make it."
Walsh isn't the first kicker to let down a coach and fan base during the NFL postseason, and he's not in bad company, either.
