Will Reichard hits game-winning field goal in first NFL game

Vikings rookie Will Reichard celebrated his first NFL game winner Saturday as he knocked through a 38-yard field goal as time expired to beat the Raiders.

And in doing so, he got a cool nickname — Walk-off Will.

WALK-OFF WILL!

Reichard’s first attempt of the day was no good. But we’ll remember the game winner. The Vikings were down 23-21. They got the ball back for one more series, as third-team quarterback Jaren Hall ran the offense.

Then Reichard calmly walked out and made the kick to the delight of the fans at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Reichard was a star at Alabama. The Vikings selected him in the fifth round of April’s NFL Draft. He’s now the only kicker on the roster, so he’s earned his spot.
