Joseph was a big piece of a key game for the special teams unit in the win over the Saints. A very cool weekend that I’ll never forget." "I love being over in England because of that atmosphere. My grandpa was a Tottenham Spurs fan, so doing it in the stadium that we would’ve absolutely loved to see means a lot to me," Joseph said. "It was very cool, a surreal experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life. His grandfather was a big Tottenham Spurs fan. The trip to London was a little extra special for Joseph. "His consistency of how he’s worked, how he treats every kick, he’s got a clear-cut focus and plan every time he goes to hit it. For him to go 5-for-5 and get NFC Special Teams Player of the Week is not a surprise to me one bit," Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said. "I just continue to tell him whether he makes it or not, my confidence level could not be higher in Greg. Joseph is the eighth Vikings' kicker to win NFC Special Teams Player of the Week, and the first since Dan Bailey in 2019. I just want to keep putting them through and keep putting this team in a position to win," Joseph said. That’s me doing my job and I’m thankful for the team for putting me in that position. He’s also 7-for-7 on kicks inside 50 yards. That tied the franchise record for the longest made field goal. Through four games, Joseph is 8-for-10 on field goals, including making a career-long 56-yard attempt in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. He’s the only kicker to make five in a game this season.
