WAS @ MIN
· Jan 17, 1988 · Season 1987, Conference
Verbally confirmed by broadcast team in Super Bowl XXII. We don't have video of this doink - yet.
ARI @ MIN
· Aug 16, 2014 · Season 2014, Preseason 2
This game is a nothingburger of a preseason match-up, but the announcer gives us a great line that really captures the essence of a doink:
"Ton of leg. And it is hooking left...incom...it's off the left upright. He missed it."
MIN @ SEA
· Aug 18, 2017 · Season 2017, Preseason 2
Old habits die hard, especially for Blair Walsh. As the new kicker for Seattle, Walsh faced his former team in the preseason. In the 2nd quarter, Walsh hit a off kilter attempt that barely made it to the crossbar. We may not know the loudest doink, but this is almost certainly the quietest.
