Vikings Kicker Blair Walsh Tweets Support For Patriots Stephen Gostkowski
BOSTON (CBS) -- The brotherhood is strong among NFL kickers.
Blair Walsh, the Minnesota Vikings kicker who missed a potential game-winning, 27-yard field goal in their Divisional Round loss to the Seattle Seahawks a few weeks back, was quick to show some support for Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski on Sunday.
Gostkowski missed an extra point in New England's 20-18 loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship, and took all the blame after the game.
Shortly after the game was over, Walsh sent out the following Tweet:
Gostkowski is one of the best in the league. It's a TEAM game! Credit to Denver for the great win.

Gostkowski had made 523 straight extra points, and all 60 in his postseason career, before Sunday's miss.
