Don’t look now, but Vikings K Dan Bailey has been solid in 2019

The kicking struggle for the Vikings has been well documented, much at the dismay of Vikings fans.

We’re not trying to jinx anything here, but . . . so far in 2019, Vikings kicker Dan Bailey has actually been pretty good!

Bailey is 7-for-8 on field goals on the season. He struggled in Week 2 against the Packers, missing a field goal and an extra point, but other than that, he’s been perfect on field goals and extra points. In the last three weeks, Bailey is a perfect 6-for-6 on field goals.

He’s 1-for-1 on kicks from 50 yards or longer, 2-for-3 on kicks from 40-49 yards and 4-for-4 on kicks from 20-39 yards.

Of course, we know how kicking goes. This could all change in a game.

We don’t know how Bailey will do the rest of the season, but we do know the Vikings are better off with him than Kaare Vedvik.
