VIDEO: Wide left! Vikings' Walsh misses chip-shot FG attempt to seal Seahawks' win
Brace Hemmelgarn / USA TODAY Sports
All that was standing in the way of a wild-card victory over the heavily favored Seattle Seahawks was a 27-yard Blair Walsh field goal.
Unfortunately for the Minnesota Vikings, the veteran kicker was unable to convert. Walsh pulled the near-automatic attempt wide left, sending the Seahawks on to the divisional round for a matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
The miss marked the second time on the day where the Vikings' holder was unable to turn the ball and have the laces face out. Walsh was able to convert on the previous attempt, but evidently came up short with the game on the line.
