Players on the field, around the league react to Vikings’ missed kick

Athletes on the field and around the sports world had strong reactions to Blair Walsh’s missed kick.

The Seattle Seahawks are moving on to the divisional round after a 10–9 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Seattle’s win was greatly aided by Vikings kicker Blair Walsh, who missed a potential game-winning field goal with less than 30 seconds to go.

Of course, the big play spurred reactions from people around the sports world. It started with the players on the field, where Vikings players Brian Robison and Adrian Peterson were stunned.

​Seahawks defensive linemen Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril and Bruce Irvin were a little more excited.

Did anyone do the "Laces Out!" Thing from Ace Ventura yet? That would be funny and fitting for our real world situation that just occurred.
