Blair Walsh missed a less-than-chipshot field goal on Sunday that would have moved his Minnesota Vikings into the divisional playoffs. The 27-yarder never had a chance, especially after the laces on the hold were pointed inward, and it sailed as wide left as such a short field goal possibly could. So, was that the worst choke in playoff history?

Heck no! It wasn’t even the worst choke in Minnesota Vikings playoff history. Here’s our order for the worst of this generation:

1. In 1998, the Vikings of Randall Cunningham and Randy Moss went 15-1 and had kicker Gary Anderson go 94-for-94 on field goals and extra points. So when Minnesota had a 38-yard field goal with a little over two minutes left, one that would have put the team up by 10 points, it was all but certain Anderson would hit it and the Vikings would go back to the Super Bowl for the first time in two decades. But Anderson missed and Minnesota was left to think about an errant kick for 17 years, right until Walsh’s miss.

2. The Cowboys were a 19-yard kick from basically beating Seattle in the 2006 Wild Card (how’s that for luck?) when Tony Romo, improbably still serving as the Dallas holder, botched the hold, giving Martin Gramatica no chance to boot the game-winner. Romo actually picked up the ball and almost ran it in for a touchdown but was caught at the last second. It was a play that still haunts Romo, even though the label of a choker should have been shed long ago.

3. This is Walsh’s spot. Other kickers have missed bad kicks, but, as far as I can tell, no one has missed such a short kick that would have won a a playoff game. (Seattle would have had about 20 seconds left but, with no timeouts, not much of a chance to put together a drive.) Twenty-seven yards. Down one point. Shanked like a duffer’s first tee shot of the year. Blame the holder too, but the swing of the leg is on Walsh. Vikings fans, you are the new Browns fans and for that, I sympathize.

By the way, Walsh is 2-for-5 lifetime when kicking for the lead with less than a minute left. That’s the worst in the NFL over that span.

4. Scott Norwood’s kick is the go-to for playoff failure but, as the great ESPN 30 for 30 doc reminded people, this was a 47-yard kick in an era in which 47-yard kicks weren’t as automatic as they are today. Norwood was 6-for-10 on the year from 40+ and had never made a 50-yarder in his career. The kick also just missed, famously, wide right. Norwood had the Super Bowl on his foot, but it’s not fair to call it a choke. He was attempting something that was at the peak of his talents. Missing it was painful, but not surprising.
