Apparently the NFL naming Myles Price the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 3 wasn’t enough to emphasize how good he’s been this year, so the league took it one step further on Thursday.
The NFL named Price the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for the month of September for what he has done in the first three weeks of the season so far.
We went through Price’s accomplishments in the story we ran yesterday about his weekly award, but let’s do it again here. . .well, he deserves it.
In addition to being the only player in the league to return a punt for a touchdown so far this season, Price leads the National Football League in punt return yardage (130), punt return average (21.7 yards), kickoff return yardage (353), and all-purpose yardage (483).
Price is now the eighth member of the Vikings to be named Special Teams Player of the Month and, technically, gives the Minnesota Vikings the award in back-to-back months. Will Reichard won the award for December 2025/January 2026.
Here is a full list of Vikings Special Teams Player of the Month recipients:
So, to clarify, that’s ten different awards for eight different players, given that Berger won the award three different times.
Congratulations to Myles Price for being the NFC’s Special Teams Player of the Month for September!
