Bailey was a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points against the Giants -- 14 points total. It's his highest total as a member of the Vikings.
It's the fourth such honor of Bailey's career, with the previous three honors happening during his time with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Vikings take on the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday at noon.
