The Minnesota Vikings are bracing for a fierce challenge as they face the surging Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. With Lamar Jackson back in action, the Ravens have won two consecutive games and are seeking their third straight victory. The team's resurgence can be attributed to Jackson's return from injury, as he threw for 204 yards and four touchdowns in their 28-6 win over the Miami Dolphins. The Vikings, on the other hand, are looking to secure back-to-back wins for the first time this season after their 27-24 road victory over the Detroit Lions. J.J. McCarthy, the Vikings' quarterback, returned from a high-ankle sprain and helped his team to the upset win, passing for two touchdowns and rushing for one more. McCarthy's growth and improvement have been notable, and he aims to continue growing as a quarterback. The Vikings' wide receiver Justin Jefferson is looking to increase his touchdown count with McCarthy as his quarterback, having caught his second touchdown pass of the season last week. On the defensive side, pass rusher Andrew Van Ginkel is set to take another step forward after returning from injury last week. The Ravens' tight end Mark Andrews is also on the cusp of making history, needing just 18 receiving yards to surpass Derrick Mason's franchise record of 5,777 career receiving yards. Despite the importance of the record, Andrews has remained focused on the team's goal of winning the game. The Ravens' defense is led by Nate Wiggins, who has two interceptions on the season, while Tavius Robinson and Nnamdi Madubuike share the team lead with two sacks apiece. The Vikings will be without cornerback Jeff Okudah and tight end Josh Oliver, while safety Theo Jackson and running back Aaron Jones Sr. are considered questionable for Sunday's game.
