Detroit Lions defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson (91) blocks a field goal attempt by Minnesota Vikings kicker Kai Forbath (2) during the first half of an NFL football game, Thursday, Nov. 23, 2017, in Detroit. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)The morning after each Vikings game, beat writer Ben Goessling dives in for a deeper look at a key aspect of how the Vikings played, and what it means for the team going forward: In Week 9 last year, the Vikings saw Blair Walsh miss an extra point and get a field goal blocked in an overtime loss to the Lions, which could have been decided in regulation had either kick gone in. That they weren’t done in by special teams issues on Thursday in Detroit might be a testament, in some ways, to how much more resilient and resourceful this year’s Vikings team has been than the 2016 club.
