Dan Bailey missed a pair of field goals in the first half Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, leading to a scathing rebuke from Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer.
He told NBC’s Michele Tafoya that Bailey wouldn’t attempt another field goal in the game.
Zimmer reportedly vowed Bailey was done
“I am not going to put the game in the hands of a kicker,” Zimmer told Tafoya.
The Vikings’ plan, according to Tafoya, was to go for it on fourth down when Minnesota reached scoring position.
Plan changed pretty quick
That plan didn’t last long, as the Vikings opted to kick a field goal on their first scoring chance in the third quarter.
