Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are set to play the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday for just the second time in the quarterback’s eight-year career. It’ll be a matchup of two first-round quarterbacks, as Vikings’ second-year QB J.J. McCarthy will start in just his 4th career game, after missing all of 2024 with a knee injury. Jackson notched a win in his lone game against Minnesota, a 34-31 come-from-behind victory, after Baltimore trailed 24-10 early in the third quarter. It was one of those early-career Jackson performances, in which he threw for 266 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions, while also leading the team in carries with an eye-popping 21 attempts for 120 rushing yards.
