Bailey has immensely struggled over his last two games, mi sing four field goal attempts and three extra point attempts that have contributed toward the Vikings sitting on the outside looking in regarding the NFC playoff picture.Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer isn't set on naming a kicker for Sunday's game against the , a win Minnesota needs to stay alive Michael Pittman Jr. Jersey in the NFC playoff race. If Zimmer wants a kicker that can make an extra point, he'll have to consider Danny Pinter Jersey all options."I don't think we have a kicker we can't depend on," Zimmer said Wednesday, . "All kinds of guys make mistakes throughout the course of a game."Bailey went 1 for 3 on extra point attempts and 2 for 3 on field goal attempts in a Week 13 overtime win over the , a game which wouldn't have went to overtime if Bailey could convert a kick. In Sunday's 12-point lo s to the , Bailey mi sed all three of his field goal attempts and his lone extra point attempt. The Vikings' better option was going for two than kicking an extra point as they tried to rally back in a game that would have kept them holding onto the final seed in the NFC playoff Xavier Rhodes Jersey standings with a victory. Minnesota worked out two kickers this week in and Taylor Bertolet, showcasing their faith (or lack thereof) in Bailey. Catanzaro hasn't kicked in an game since 2018, converting 83.8% of his field goal attempts for five different teams.
