Blair Walsh Girlfriend: Sarah Chaffee Jumps To Vikings Kicker’s Defense After

He hit three field goals from 22, 43 and 47 yards in the first three quarters and lined up to send the Vikings to the next round and eliminate the two-time defending NFC champions, but with Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman breathing down their necks, Locke put the ball down with the laces facing toward Walsh, and the kicker pulled it well left.

Though dressed in Seahawks green and navy blue, Mark Wilson of Seattle said he received a warm welcome on his first visit to Minneapolis, even if the weather was the coldest it’s been so far this season. But when a kicker misses, then all of a sudden the weight of the world tries to break his back – something that is heightened when we’re talking about playoff football.

Curt Warner rushed for 113 yards in that one, and the 27-20 win in coach Chuck Knox’s first season announced to the National Football League that the Seahawks had arrived.

The Vikings moved the ball all right, but couldn’t get into the end zone.

His body refreshed from the unexpected late-career break and his mind determined to prove he can still thrive on the field past age 30, let alone his drive to put the fallout from the child-abuse case against him in the past, Peterson played in every game. With Bridgwater at quarterback the Vikings couldn’t even score a touchdown. They did muster up a total of 180 yards of offense in a home playoff game.

One of the most exciting, unusual plays that had to have brought about the spike in ratings came from Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. Peterson’s fumble problems returned in the fourth quarter when he coughed one up after catching a pass for a first down. Several plays later, the Seahawks took the lead on a field goal.

Playing in frigid temperatures in what could be described as “brutal”, both teams endured the cold weather while showing dominance on the field. The Vikings did enough to nearly win the game, but they would ultimately fall short. They also sacked him twice and intercepted him once. Michael served as the primary ‘back, rushing 21 times for 70 yards. The Seahawks as a team only had 226 yards of offense and converted just 5-of-14 third down opportunities and 0-of-3 fourth down plays.

The 2015 Seahawks are extremely experienced, with 32 players who have played in Super Bowls, but they haven’t always been so successful dealing with inclemency. The Seahawks had an errant snap of their own on a punt. Lockett ran down the left sideline for a 35-yard gain before being knocked out at the Vikings’ 4.

It was later in the quarter when it looked like the Seahawks luck was about to run out. And regardless the talent level, there weren’t a lot of visiting teams that could have gone into that ice box and win a game. “I just tried to extend the play and find a way”. Had he made it, they would have been the heroes. But he hooked the kick badly wide left, sucker-punching the Vikings and their fans with a 10-9 loss while setting off a wild celebration by the equally-stunned visitors.

Earlier today, Fox Sports reported that YouTuber “Koleman Jones” had posted a video of a mechanic, in heavy winter gear, recreating the circumstances of Walsh’s kick – and nailing it.

The Vikings were never supposed to be in the game, if you follow the experts, but the Vikings were right there at the end and should have won. That starts with the coaching staff.
