Current Records: Minnesota 3-4; Baltimore 5-2
What to Know
The Baltimore Ravens have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. Their homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Minnesota Vikings at 1 p.m. ET Nov. 7 at M&T Bank Stadium. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W.’
The Ravens entered their contest against the Cincinnati Bengals last week without any home losses — but there’s a first time for everything. Baltimore found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 41-17 punch to the gut against Cincinnati. This matchup was a close 13-10 at the break, but unfortunately for Baltimore it sure didn’t stay that way. Baltimore’s loss came about despite a quality game from QB Lamar Jackson, who passed for one TD and 257 yards on 31 attempts in addition to picking up 88 yards on the ground. Jackson ended up with a passer rating of 128.70.
Meanwhile, Minnesota might have drawn first blood against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but it was Dallas who got the last laugh. The Vikings were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap as they fell 20-16 to the Cowboys. No one had a standout game offensively for Minnesota, but they got one touchdown from WR Adam Thielen. QB Kirk Cousins ended up with a passer rating of 119.30.
Most of the squad’s points came courtesy of special teams, which contributed ten. K Greg Joseph delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game. This makes it three perfect games in a row for him.
The losses put the Ravens at 5-2 and the Vikings at 3-4. Baltimore doesn’t typically stay down for long — they’re 1-0 after losses this season — so Minnesota (2-1 after losses) won’t have an easy go of it.
