Before the season began, special teams seemed like a strength for our Vikings. Former concerns about who would be doing the kicking were in the rear view mirror. Dan Bailey, who is still a historically great kicker in terms of his field goal percentages, went 27/29 in 2019, an impressive 93.1%. Britton Colquitt, meanwhile, was a rock-solid veteran at punter who also stabilized the holder position. Toss in seventh-round pick Austin Cutting and it certainly appeared as though Minnesota had some much needed stability.
2020 was a rough year, though. Bailey finished 15/22 for a career worst 68.
