Greg Joseph Makes Only Field Goal Attempt In Loss To Ravens

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph made his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries in the 34-31 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

K.J. Osborn Not A Factor In Loss To Ravens

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn had another disappointing performance Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, turning his two targets into only one reception for 20 yards.

Kirk Cousins Accounts For Three Touchdowns In Vikings Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins put up another solid performance in a 34-31 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
