Ravens Edge Vikings 13-3 in Preseason Showdown at U.S. Bank Stadium
In a preseason Week 2 matchup at U.S. Bank Stadium on August 22, 2026, the Baltimore Ravens secured a 13-3 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, improving their preseason record to 2-0 while the Vikings fell to 1-1. The game, which was broadcast on WBAL and 98 Rock, saw the Ravens dominate defensively, holding the Vikings to just a field goal. The scoring summary shows Baltimore scored 3 points in the second quarter, 7 in the third, and 3 in the fourth, while Minnesota managed only 3 points in the second quarter.
Unlike their first preseason game, the Vikings opted to rest most of their starters, including quarterback Kyler Murray, who did not play. This decision gave valuable reps to backup players and rookies, allowing the coaching staff to evaluate depth. One player expected to step up is Ingram-Dawkins, who, in his second year with the team, is poised to play a significant role on defense this season. His performance in this game will be closely monitored as the regular season approaches.
The Ravens, on the other hand, appeared to use more of their regular rotation, which contributed to their control of the game. The defense was particularly impressive, limiting the Vikings to just 3 points and forcing key stops, including a crucial third-down stand at the Minnesota 8-yard line. This defensive dominance is a positive sign for Baltimore as they continue to fine-tune their roster.
For fans who missed the action, the Vikings Postgame Report provided a comprehensive recap, highlighting the team’s struggles and areas for improvement. The broadcast details for the game were confirmed, but the broadcaster for American Football in India is still to be determined, with local listings expected closer to kickoff. As the preseason winds down, both teams will look to build on this experience, with the Vikings aiming to bounce back and the Ravens seeking to maintain their winning momentum.
