At home in Minneapolis, the Vikings unraveled in a 27-19 loss to the Ravens, undone by eight false starts and three turnovers. Right tackle Brian O’Neill was flagged three times, with penalties also on Christian Darrisaw, Blake Brandel, Ben Yurosek, Justin Jefferson and quarterback J.J. McCarthy, despite a subdued crowd. Leading 10-9, Minnesota’s third-quarter deep shot became a Marlon Humphrey interception after Jefferson tripped. The Vikings averaged 6.7 yards per carry yet leaned pass heavy while trailing. McCarthy went 20-for-42 for 248 yards, one touchdown and two picks, as frustration mounted.
