Good, we got the underdog thing going again.

Lamar Jackson has a career record of 24-5 against NFC teams.

His dominance against the NFC is reflected in his .944 winning percentage, making him the best quarterback against the opposing conference since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.

New season, new games, new possibilities. His success prior to this Sunday isn't part of that story.

With the team largely healthy, again, I think Lamar and King Henry could be in for a long game. That said, they're both complete buggers to tackle.

Their defense isn't what it was, and both of their lines are reportedly suspect in the middle. Stay tuned...!

If I was Flores, I would have the guys looking to punch that ball at any chance. Another fumble and Henry might become a basket case again.

This is a bad matchup for the Vikings and they are catching them at a bad time. The Vikings offense is going to have to be much more productive to win this one. The Ravens defense was crap earlier, but that is no longer the case. The Vikings defense is going to have to have a very good game. The offensive line needs to play well, because the offense is going to have to produce.
These aren't the Ravens with a bad run defense they were earlier in the year. The Vikings will have to physicly dominate like thay did against Detroit to win!

Yep, might be catching these guys at exactly the wrong time. It is what it is. Tough schedule means you play pretty good teams.

He has a 79% completion rate versus the blitz which is phenomenal. If Flores brings the usual blitz-heavy plan it will not be a good result IMHO.

Yeah, this Ravens team is now the team we thought they'd be. Would've been nice to catch them a few weeks ago when they couldn't beat anyone.

Hopefully the Vikings learned something about themselves in their tangle with the Kittens—that they can play with the best of them if they play their game. US Bank will help, but only if the Vikings defense does something to get them going. Just looked at his stats this year. Despite missing most of October, Lamar Jackson has 1,000 yards, 14 TDs and 1 INT. The guy's amazing and it will take much more than blitzes and crowd noise to get to him.
