MINNEAPOLIS (AP) J.J. McCarthy threw a pair of interceptions and kickoff returner Myles Price fumbled deep in Minnesota territory, turnovers that directly led to 13 points for the Baltimore Ravens on the way to a 27-19 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.
Among all the mistakes made by the home team, it was the Vikings’ eight false starts among 13 penalties on the afternoon. McCarthy was wildly inconsistent, completing only 20 of 42 passes with a late touchdown strike to Jalen Nailor. He threw two interceptions on two poorly thrown deep attempts and had numerous passes tipped or batted down at the line of scrimmage. Jefferson was held to four catches for 37 yards, while Nailor hauled in five passes for 124 yards and the score. Minnesota converted three of 14 third down. The Vikings host Chicago next week.
The Green Bay Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles tonight. The Eagles currently sit at 6-2 coming off the bye week. The Packers are 5-2-1 looking to rebound from a 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers last week. Pregame gets underway at 5:00 kickoff scheduled for 7:20 on 96.1-FM
