From Week 1 to Week 12, Vikings kicker Dan Bailey had a tough season. He has 10-of-12 field goals and 26-of-27 extra point attempts.
But things have changed in the last two weeks. Bailey has lost three extra points and four field goals in Minnesota’s last two games, including all four of his kicks – three field goals, one extra point – lost to Tampa Bay last Sunday.
When Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer was asked Wednesday if Bailey would be his team’s kicker against Bailey on Sunday, he replied, “We’ll see.”
He was then asked if the Vikings would add any other kickers this week and again replied, “We’ll see.”
But Zimmer at least later on Bailey, by Chris Thomason St. Paul Pioneer Press: “I don’t think so We have kickers we can’t rely on. Boys of all kinds make mistakes during the game. ”
The Vikings did the work of Chandler Ketanzaro and Taylor Bertolet, which means the kickers have begun the COVID-19 test needed to play this weekend. Minnesota have yet to sign both players, which means at least right now, Bailey is on tap to get a shot at redemption against Bailey.
