Joseph said: “He’s a great kicker, and I have nothing but respect for Wil. As soon as I saw the outcome of it, I ran out there to wish him good game and best of luck and to stay healthy for the rest of the year. I know he’ll bounce back.”
Joseph himself bounced back strong a week after missing both of his attempts against the Detroit Lions. Joseph credited the Vikings offense for putting him in solid kicking situations the entire game.
“It was a team effort to get us down there. I know it ends with a kick, but I can’t do it without obviously our guys getting us down there,” Joseph said. “And then it starts with the big guys up front, snap, hold. Just a little bit of the full operation and totality.”
It wasn’t just Joseph who shined bright for Minnesota’s special teams unit on Sunday. Vikings punter Ryan Wright only had three punts on the afternoon, but he pinned the Saints inside their 12-yard line twice.
Wright’s other attempt was fielded at the New Orleans 42-yard line, but Minnesota cornerback Kris Boyd punched the ball loose from Saints wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harty’s hands before recovering the fumble.
“[It’s about] effort. I’m doing that for my teammates, not for me,” Boyd said. “Every play I’m just doing what they expect of me, that’s why I’m out there. And then if you do good things and stay around the ball, good things will come to you.”
