Match Preview: What’s at stake?

The Vikings and Ravens enter Week 2 of the 2026 NFL preseason with 1-0 records, but the result will not count toward the regular-season standings. The real stakes are player evaluation, roster competition and preparation for the regular season. Minnesota opened its preseason with a 13-10 win over the New York Giants, while Baltimore defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-7 in its first game under new head coach Jesse Minter.

Minnesota’s biggest storyline is its revamped quarterback room. Kyler Murray was named the Vikings’ starting quarterback, while J.J. McCarthy has been confirmed as QB2. Murray played only the opening series against the Giants, completing 2 of 3 passes for 10 yards, while Carson Wentz later threw the game-winning touchdown to Myles Price.

The Vikings also suffered a significant setback in their opener when Jamal Adams sustained a season-ending quadriceps injury. His absence leaves Minnesota with another defensive personnel question to address, particularly as Brian Flores‘ unit prepares for a Ravens offense led by Lamar Jackson.

Baltimore, meanwhile, is beginning a new era under Jesse Minter, who replaced John Harbaugh after the 2025 season. The Ravens’ defense dominated Philadelphia in Week 1, holding the Eagles to seven points, although most of Baltimore’s established starters did not play. The team is also dealing with a developing competition at center after Danny Pinter suffered a knee injury during joint practices with Minnesota.
