Just doing a quick stat comparison of kickers this morning, including comparing to recent past Vikings kickers:
Reichard: 100% FGM, has the 4th longest FG made (58 yards). He's tied for the lead in being perfect on XPs at 14, but is tied for 18th on the number of FG attempts at 6. Of course the reason for that is because Darnold & Co is doing pretty well at scoring TDs instead of relying on FGs (at 14). Of course O'Connell is being second guessed by everyone for not taking the 3 points against the Pack.
By contrast:
Greg Joseph (Giants) is 83.3% on six FG attempts, while Daniel Carlson is 77.8% on 9 FG attempts.
It's going to take a few years for the "boy wonder" Reichard to help me with my anxiety attacks every time we line up for a FG or XP with the game on the line. But in the meantime, I am enjoying the ride.
