Minnesota Vikings at Baltimore Ravens: First quarter recap and second quarter discussion

It’s the end of the first quarter at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and the Minnesota Vikings lead the Baltimore Ravens by a score of 7-3 and they’re on the doorstep looking to get more.

The Vikings won the toss and, as they usually do, deferred to the second half, giving Lamar Jackson and company the football first. The Ravens went for it on a 4th-and-2 from just past midfield, and it appeared that the Vikings had forced Jackson to fumble with the Vikings recovering, but D.J. Wonnum was called for a horse-collar tackle that absolutely was not a horse-collar tackle

The Ravens managed to turn the drive into a field goal, with Justin Tucker connecting from 37 yards out to give the home team an early 3-0 lead.
