Vikings win 24-3

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has struggled this season. He is coming off a game where he threw two interceptions and was sacked three times by the Chicago Bears defense.

The Minnesota Vikings’ defensive unit is a lot tougher unit than the Bears. The Vikings’ pass-rush, led by Everson Griffen, will be able to get pressure on the quarterback. Also, Minnesota’s secondary should handle the Ravens’ wide receivers with ease as they have no true threat.

The Vikings’ offense will look to control the clock in this game. Jerick McKinnon has come on strong the past two weeks and will continue his strong play. Minnesota will make this a low scoring game knowing that Baltimore’s offense struggles to score points. Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer will make this more of a field position game and trust his defense to stop the Ravens.
