The Vikings have been without a clear starter in the role since Rondale Moore went down with a season-ending knee injury on his first attempt against the Texans on Aug. 9.
Price had one heart-pounding moment on a punt in the third quarter, double-clutching as he made a fair catch and eliciting an audible reaction from the crowd at Nissan Stadium.

4. Did Scott take an edge on RB3?
The Vikings sat fourth-year running back Ty Chandler, handing the reins to undrafted free agent Zavier Scott to start the night.
Scott finished with five carries for 28 yards, playing only the first quarter due to what O’Connell said was a right ankle injury.
“We’ve gotta work through the numbers, position-wise, what we’re gonna be doing, keeping, really trying to envision what the team’s gonna look like,” O’Connell said. “It’s not always set in stone, those numbers, but in my opinion, he’s absolutely done enough to warrant real conversation.”
