Well they still would have lost to the Bucs by three points if he would have made all his field goals yesterday. |
If Bailey makes the extra point attempts and at least the first FGA (which was around 36 yards I think. Not going to look it up to see exactly how far, but it was VERY doable), that changes the complexion of the game. The Vikings now have more confidence in their kicker, have more of their playbook open when in supposed FG range, and likely have fewer 4th down attempts. They likely play with less urgency, while Tampa plays with a little more.
That both teams are playing a game where both suddenly realize one doesn't have a kicker through three quarters goes beyond the points we can measure.
