The Vikings expect a big year from their kicker. What could go wrong?

Vikings kicker Greg Joseph had, by most standards, a decent year in 2021. He made 86.8% of his field goals, better than league average (85.1) and tied for the third-most makes of 50-plus yards (seven). On the down side, he had some high-profile misses (including a game-decider against the Cardinals) and also missed four extra points.

Reflexively, though, Vikings fans tend to hold their breath when it comes to kickers and their kicks. The scars are plentiful and in easy-to-see places. You'd be a little jaded, too, if you watched a kicker make every kick all season .
