  "account": "EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The special teams for the Minnesota Vikings have played a crucial role in their undefeated start, often overshadowed by the defense's stellar performance. Myles Price, the smallest player on the team at 5-foot-9, has emerged as a standout performer, particularly with his kick returns. Known as \"MP4,\" Price has become a must-watch moment in every game for both fans and players.\n\nPrice's impact extends beyond his impressive statistics. In Week 3, he scored the first punt return touchdown for the Vikings in 10 years, a 86-yard runback that reached the end zone. This play not only highlighted his talent but also demonstrated the positive influence of his coach, Matt Daniels, who has been instrumental in his development as a kick return specialist.\n\nPrice's success, however, comes with modest production as a wide receiver and limited experience with kick returns. Despite this, he has risen to become the league's top punt returner and the second-best kickoff returner. His ability to consistently put the Vikings in prime field position has been a game-changer, as evidenced by his 36 and 43-yard punt returns, 47 and 68-yard kickoff returns, and the 86-yard runback in Week 3.\n\nVikings special teams coordinator Matt Daniels has identified Price as a valuable asset, urging the personnel department to include him in the team's roster. Price's growth in setting up effective blocks and his belief in his own abilities have contributed to his success. His performance continues to inspire his teammates, creating a positive vibe within the team.",
