New kicker in town
Kai Forbath replaces embattled kicker Blair Walsh, whom the Vikings released Tuesday in the middle of his rocky season. Forbath might not be a huge upgrade in terms of career success, but he comes in without the mental stress that Walsh carried with him onto the field for every kick this season.
Forbath by the numbers
33-of-34 Extra-point attempts for the Saints in 10 games in 2015
84.1 Career field-goal percentage since his 2012 debut the Redskins
57 Longest field goal of his career, made in 2015 with the Saints
5 Kickers he competed against in Vikings workouts
