OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Quarterback Lamar Jackson was not at practice for the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday during the portion open to reporters. Jackson has played the last two games after missing three because of a hamstring injury. He was able to play for the duration of Baltimore’s win over Minnesota last weekend.

The Vikings largely contained Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson, but their own quarterback’s problems proved too much to overcome.

Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy was 20-of-42 for 248 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, and he had a team-high 48 rushing yards. When the Vikings took a 10-3 lead in the second quarter, the Ravens scored 16 unanswered points to pull away.

The Baltimore Ravens continued their defensive resurgence to beat the Minnesota Vikings 27-19 on Sunday for their third straight victory.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had to respond to Vikings' defensive coordinator Brian Flores with some quick passes on Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson locates wide receiver Zay Flowers for 27-yard gain. New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completes a 26-yard pass to wide receiver Demario Douglas. Houston Texans running back Woody Marks rushes for a 1-yard touchdown.

The Vikings (4-4) return home for the first of two straight at U.S. Bank Stadium after their 27-24 upset of the Lions last Sunday. They’ll head into this one full of energy, and they’ll face a 3-5 Ravens team that’s currently out of the AFC playoff field after going 12-5 a year ago.
