Vikings Outlasted in Overtime in 34-31 Road Loss...



Dalvin Cook led Minnesota with 110 rushing yards on 17 carries with 60 percent gained on a 66-yarder.

Justin Jefferson rushed on Minnesota’s first play of the day for a gain of 11, and Kene Nwangwu recorded a gain of 9 on a fake punt.

Nwangwu returned the opening kickoff of the second half 98 yards for a touchdown.

Jefferson led Minnesota with 69 receiving yards, highlighted by a 50-yard reception but finished with three catches. Adam Thielen was limited to two receptions for 6 yards, including a score.

Kirk Cousins finished 17-of-28 passing for 187 yards, failing to crack 200 through the air for the second consecutive game after hitting the mark a franchise-record 15 games in a row.

Justin Tucker kicks a 37-yard field goal [11 plays, 56 yards, 4:26 time of possession]

Costly and questionable: A fumble by Lamar Jackson on an option play that was recovered by Anthony Barr was negated due to a horse-collar tackle penalty on D.J. Wonnum, who started in place of Danielle Hunter. Wonnum appeared only to grab Jackson by the number on the back of his jersey.

Justin Jefferson catches a 50-yard pass from Kirk Cousins (Greg Joseph kicks PAT) [5 plays, 79 yards, 2:02 time of possession]

Explosive start: The Vikings involved Jefferson on the first play of the game by rushing with the receiver and followed with a 15-yard run by Dalvin Cook for 26 quick yards. Three plays later, Jefferson ran past the Ravens secondary and protection allowed Cousins time to find him.
