Minnesota Vikings coach firmly on the hot seat after another major mistake cost them dearly vs. Green Bay Packers

This is the kind of mistake that you cannot allow to happen. How much of that lands on Price is up to interpretation, because he was doing his job. Was someone yelling out "Peter" to just clear out the area, and Price didn't hear it? He certainly screamed it on the next punt, seemingly emphasizing it.

These are the mistakes that Daniels' unit continues to make, and it's why he's firmly on the hot seat, which I wrote about last week.

The Vikings are tied for third in special teams penalties with 18 and they have impacted the Vikings to a tune of 606 yards per TruMedia. What’s even worse is how much it’s hindered the Vikings on kickoff returns. They lead the league in penalties on kickoff returns with 12. That has been the biggest factor for the Vikings issues on special teams, wiping out multiple huge returns, including a 99 yard touchdown return by Price. There are also schematic issues with the units, and that is all on Daniels. Having explosive plays doesn’t matter a whole lot when you keep shooting yourself in the foot.

These mistakes cannot continue to happen, and they haven't stopped all season. It's arguably the reason why the Vikings are struggling so much, as when they happen, you can feel the team deflate afterward.

A move likely doesn't happen until after the season, but it needs to happen.
