The Minnesota Vikings fell to the Baltimore Ravens 13-3 in their second preseason game on Aug. 22 at U.S. Bank Stadium. J.J. McCarthy played the first quarter, and much of the focus from this game is on the third-year quarterback’s performance.
During his time on the field, McCarthy went 5-for-10 on his pass attempts for 81 yards, and he was asked once. Meanwhile, Carson Wentz took over for McCarthy afterward, and the veteran signal-caller went 9-for-11 for 92 passing yards and was sacked twice.
