Kaare Vedvik handled placekicking duties in the first half and, after making an extra point, pushed a 37-yard field goal attempt wide right for his third straight miss of the preseason.

BUFFALO - Coach Mike Zimmer entered the Vikings’ preseason finale Thursday night in Buffalo with confidence issues in newly-acquired kicker/punter Kaare Vedvik, and a 27-23 loss against the Bills probably did little to ease his concerns ahead of Saturday’s roster cuts.

Vedvik handled placekicking duties in the first half and, after making an extra point, pushed a 37-yard field goal attempt wide right for his third straight missed field goal since the Vikings dealt a 2020 fifth-round pick to Baltimore for him this month.
