It is odd that the most clutch kicker of all-time has the yips now.
He says he doesn’t plan to retire, but he has some demons.
Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri said the possibility of retiring didn’t cross his mind after he missed his seventh kick in the past three games on Sunday. What Vinatieri does need to get out his mind, though, are the demons that are there as he fights his way through one of the worst stretches of his 24-year NFL career.
“I’m going to work a lot this week to get those demons so I can go clear-headed, step on the field and just do my job,” Vinatieri said Tuesday.
“I think anybody that has had a bad game, or, I dunno, I guess if you go out golfing and you hook a couple balls, are you thinking about it until you get it figured out? I’ll spend some time this week working those [demons] out,” Vinatieri said.
Flip the pages for the missed kicks.
