Vikings’ kicker Kai Forbath makes all 3 of his field goals in debut

Kai Forbath has plenty of experience in the NFL. Although he has struggled in the last few seasons, he was one of the best kickers in the NFL at one point. With some built up confidence, expect Forbath to be the answer to the Vikings’ kicking problems.

The Arizona Cardinals have a solid defense and the Vikings offense has been known to find success outside of the red zone. Minnesota could see themselves in a lot of field goal kicking positions in Week 11.

Former Vikings kicker Blair Walsh struggled so much that Minnesota had to change basically their whole offensive outlook. They had to plan on anything outside the red zone was four-down territory, but with a new kicker in town, those issues may be gone.

Expect the Vikings offense to move the ball very well until they hit the red zone. Once there, Kai Forbath will take over and help the Vikings put points on the board.
