The Minnesota Vikings traded up to get kicker Daniel Carlson in this year’s draft, which makes his disastrous Sunday sting just a little bit more. Carlson missed all three of his field goals on the road against the Green Bay Packers, including a potential game-winner as the clock expired in overtime. The 35-yard kick went wide right and left the Vikings and Packers tied at 29 as the game ended. Carlson also missed kicks of 48 yards and 49 yards. The 49-yarder came with 7:36 left in overtime. "It feels terrible. Obviously, I let my team down," Carlson told reporters after the game. "That last one was probably more just confidence after missing twice early." Carlson’s misses helped negate a huge game from Kirk Cousins, who finished 35 for 48 with 425 yards passing and four touchdowns. Carlson won the job from incumbent kicker Kai Forbath this fall after Forbath had an uneven 2017 season that included five missed extra points.<doc-sep>Minnesota Vikings kicker Daniel Carlson misses a field goal in the final seconds of overtime against the Green Bay Packers Sunday, Sept. 16, 2018, in Green Bay, Wis.

The Vikings-Packers game in Week 2 resulted in a tie on Sunday, 29-29, at Lambeau Field. Minnesota rookie kicker Daniel Carlson missed a 35-yard field goal as time expired in overtime. Daniel Carlson misses AGAIN and we have a tie between the Packers and Vikings pic.twitter.com/geND7IIZ55 — The Sports Quotient (@SportsQuotient) September 16, 2018 That would have been somewhat forgivable if that was his first miss. But oh boy, it wasn’t. Carlson missed three kicks on the day. The first was from 48 yards out, the second was from 49 yards out, and the last was a chip shot. This is from the same team that brought you Blair Walsh, so this is a familiar feeling and an absolutely horrible one. The Vikings outscored the Packers 22-9 in the fourth quarter. They drove 75 yards for an Adam Thielen touchdown with 1:14 left in the game, and they were successful on a fade two-point conversion to Stefon Diggs to tie the game. Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was an absolute stud, throwing for 425 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Thielen finished with 12 catches for 131 yards and the touchdown, while Diggs had nine catches for 128 yards and two touchdowns. Minnesota tied, but if you’re a Vikings fan, this certainly feels like a loss.<doc-sep>
It’s never a good thing to see when kickers can’t come through for their teams with the game on the line, but we saw a lot of that on Sunday in the NFL. Cleveland Browns PK Zane Gonzalez missed an extra point during their matchup with the New Orleans Saints, and then missed a potential game-tying field goal attempt that dropped the Browns to 0-1-1 to start the season. The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings also had their fair share of missed field goals in their game on Sunday, which ended in a 29-29 tie. Former Auburn PK Daniel Carlson was one of those kickers who struggled mightily. The Vikings were down a touchdown late in the second quarter and were driving down the field, looking to cut the deficit before the halftime break. The drive stalled at the Green Bay 30-yard line, and Carlson came on for a 48-yard attempt. He missed however, sailing the kick wide right. Sadly, this was just the beginning of Carlson’s problems. The game went to overtime, and the Vikings were awarded first possession. Under QB Kirk Cousins’ guidance, Minnesota drove 40 yards before it was again time for Carlson to come on the field. He missed a 49-yard attempt, and gave the Packers possession with a chance to put the game away. Minnesota’s defense stood their ground though, and Green Bay was forced to punt the ball away. It looks like Carlson would have his chance at redemption. The Vikings drove over 60 yards before time started to run out, and Carlson came out yet again for a field goal attempt, a 35-yard attempt that would win Minnesota the game. The snap was good, the hold perfect, but Carlson sailed the kick wide right, and the game ended in a tie.
