Joseph converted three of five field-goal attempts and his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's win at Carolina. Despite missing a 47-yard attempt at the end of regulation that would have won the game and a 50-yard attempt with seven minutes left in regulation, head coach Mike Zimmer wasn't overly concerned. "Kicking into that wind, and I knew those two were right on the edge, that he missed, I think," Zimmer told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "But he's done a good job. I don't fault him for those."
Joseph has seemingly been at the center of every game for the Vikings with a miss as time expired in a loss to Arizona, a made field goal as time expired to win over Detroit and a field goal as time expired to send the game into overtime at Cincinnati. It appears that, so far, the misses haven't put his job in jeopardy.
