Minnesota Vikings lose 13-3 to Ravens in preseason game
The Minnesota Vikings lost 13-3 to the Baltimore Ravens in their second preseason game. The team struggled offensively, failing to score a touchdown during the exhibition match.
Individual performances highlighted the roster competition ahead of the August 30 deadline for trimming the 53-man roster. Undrafted rookie safety Jacob Thomas showed promise, potentially positioning himself as the S4 for the team. Wide receiver Dillon Bell also made a strong case for a roster spot.
In contrast, running back Demond Claiborne struggled to find space against the Ravens' defense. Meanwhile, Zavier Scott led the team in rushing with 28 yards on seven attempts and contributed to the passing game with an eight-yard reception.
