After their upset of the Lions last week, J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings came back to earth in a sloppy loss at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Lamar Jackson led the way, completing 17 of 29 passes for 176 yards and a 2-yard touchdown to tight end Mark Andrews. Running back Derrick Henry added 75 yards on the ground on 20 carries, moving into 15th place on the NFL’s all-time rushing list with 12,124 yards — surpassing Hall of Famers Thurman Thomas and Franco Harris.

The Vikings, coming off a big win, felt a hangover as they lost to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10 in brutal fashion.

J.J. McCarthy threw two interceptions and the Vikings committed 13 penalties, giving up 18 second-half points to fall to 4-5.

Here’s what The Baltimore Sun sports staff had to say immediately after the Ravens’ 27-19 win over the Vikings on Sunday to improve to 4-5.

USA Today's NFL experts make their picks for a Week 10 showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Ravens

The Vikings and Ravens have announced inactive players ahead of Sunday's noon kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, and both teams are coming in about as healthy as either one could've hoped in Week 10 of the regular season.

The Vikings found their footing in Week 9 against the Detroit Lions. They have struggled to find it all season long but they got healthy, and looked the part against one of the toughest teams in the NFC and the NFL as a whole.

That was nowhere to be found on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium as the Vikings suffered a 27-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that didn’t feel that close.

Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy was 20-of-42 for 248 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, and he had a team-high 48 rushing yards. When the Vikings took a 10-3 lead in the second quarter, the Ravens scored 16 unanswered points to pull away.

The Vikings' defense played admirably, holding the Ravens to four field goals, but Baltimore's offense eventually broke through. Derrick Henry ran for 75 yards and Lamar Jackson threw for 176, including a touchdown pass to Mark Andrews early in the fourth quarter to extend the lead.
