K- Nick Folk

Will you look at that, the Bucs made the right choice on a kicker.

2-3 on extra points and 3-3 on field goals with a long of 50 yards for the wily old veteran Nick Folk.

Folks kicking game might not be a flashy part for many other franchises, but after the kicking woes of the Tampa Bay Bucs over the past few years,  he is god sent.

Having a reliable option at kicker is something that the Bucs have needed since the times before previous kicker Conor Barth tore his Achilles.

Folks make the final spot of the players to watch versus Minnesota because the is that this was not just one game. Having a consistent kicker is also a key for any team heading to the playoffs.

This week Folk takes his talents North to a dome, will he be able to silence the crowd and the critics?

Do not bet against him.
