It’s January 10th, 2016 at a frigid TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Seattle Seahawks, one of the hottest teams in the NFL, are on the verge of a disappointing playoff loss against the Minnesota Vikings, whom through two games were unable to score a single offensive touchdown against Seattle’s defense.
Coming onto the field is Vikings kicker Blair Walsh, 3-for-3 in field goal attempts on the afternoon, including two from 45+ on a day when the football might as well be an actual giant rock. This is just a 27-yard field goal attempt, and barring a miracle score in about 22 seconds, the Vikings were going to advance.
