After many Minnesota Vikings fans ripped kicker Blair Walsh for missing a 27-yard field goal that could have given the team a win in Sunday's playoff game, some first-graders used it as a lesson in empathy.

In 2004, Paul McCallum missed two field goals - including a chance to win in overtime - in the Roughriders' 27-25 West Division final loss to the Lions.

Blair Walsh's 27-yard field goal try into the frigid wind for Minnesota hooked left with 22 seconds remaining, handing the Seattle Seahawks a 10-9 victory over the stunned Vikings in their wild-card round playoff game in below-zero weather Sunday.
