  "account": "After a game that was both good and bad, the Minnesota Vikings celebrated their Week 4 victory over the Miami Dolphins with a look at the good, bad, and ugly aspects of the win. Will Reichard, the Vikings’ kicker, was named the MVP of the season, having made approximately 847 kicks in a row and accounting for all of the Vikings’ 32 points. However, the Viking offense struggled throughout the game, scoring just six points since Week 2, highlighting the need for improvement from quarterback Kyler Murray and the rest of the team. The team’s lack of discipline was also a major issue, with seven first-half penalties stifling any progress the offense was making. While the offensive line did not help the cause, the penalties were the primary issue in the first half, keeping the Dolphins in the game. The Vikings have a real shot at being 5-0 heading into the bye week if they can get their offense together, but they must address the penalties if they want to compete against stronger teams.",
  "summary": "The Minnesota Vikings are still undefeated after a Week 4 win against the Miami Dolphins, but it was anything but pretty once again.",
