After an unusually poor performance in the first week, Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri struggled again in today's victory over the Titans. After the match, the owner, Jim Irsay, acknowledged that the difficulties of the team at the level of the kickers were worrying.

"It breaks my heart to see it because I know how (Vinatieri) works," said Irsay (via Mike Wells of ESPN). "Of course it's a concern. I can not lie to you guys. Everyone will tell you that it is a concern. Adam, coach (Frank Reich), (general manager) Chris (Ballard), me. Yes, I mean, in this league, it's professional football. We must all produce.

"The wait is to win when you are a professional. So we need to figure out where we are and see what coach and Chris think is the best direction. And I know that Adam will be the most honest person of all, so we'll see where we are. "

Meanwhile, Vinatieri did not say much after the win, but he said we heard it on Monday. When reporters announced that tomorrow was a day off, the veteran had the same answer: "Yeah, you're going to hear about me."

We all know the praise of the future Hall of Fame. Vinatieri made a name for itself by converting the winning goals in Super Bowls XXXVI and XXXVIII. He also won two more rings during his career with the Patriots and Colts. He currently holds NFL records for most points scored (2,600) and most goals scored (582). He also has the distinction of being the oldest active player in the NFL at 46 years old.

While Vinatieri's percentage of goals decreased every year between 2015 and 2018, it was still more than reliable. However, the 24-year-old has struggled in 2019. He missed a pair of field goal attempts and extra points in the first week. He then stalled on two more attempts.

Although Reich seemed to put Vinatieri's struggles on the forefront, it is undeniable that the veteran is simply ready to talk about a career.
