Nearly hero in overtime loss
Carlson made one of two field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 31-30 overtime loss at Detroit.
Carlson's last field-goal try of the day came on the last play of regulation with the score tied 24-24, and he pushed the 62-yarder just a bit wide to the right. His make was a 28-yard chip shot in the middle of the fourth quarter. He has struggled somewhat attempting longer kicks in recent years, but he'll be looking to bounce back in a Week 2 matchup at Baltimore.
