Dodgers News: Players, Broadcaster Reach Out To Support Blair Walsh

Losing a deciding playoff game is one of the worst feelings an athlete can have. For Blair Walsh of the Minnesota Vikings, it was a moment he’d like to forget.

With just a few ticks remaining on the clock he hooked a 27-yard field goal wide left, and the Vikings were eliminated from the NFL Playoffs (Editor’s Note: As a Vikings fan, we should have seen this coming.

It’s always fantastic to see athletes reach out to other athletes during situations like this. There’s a bond, a brotherhood in fact, that builds between commonalities. At a moment in his career when he was probably feeling low, several Dodgers reached out in various ways to try and lend their support. It was a heartwarming gesture.
