Eagan, Minn. (December 18, 2019) – Vikings K Dan Bailey has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15.
Scoring a season-high 15 points, Bailey helped lead the Vikings to their 10th win on the season in a 39-10 win over the Chargers. Bailey was perfect on all four his field goal attempts, tying for his most in a single game as a Viking, connecting on kicks from 26, 44, 38 and 27 yards.
Bailey is honored as NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for the sixth time in his career (three as a Vikings) and third time this season. The Vikings have earned player of the week honors on six different occasions in 2019, the most in team history since the 2009 team earned the award six times.
