The Baltimore Ravens present a unique challenge to the Minnesota Vikings. They sit at a disappointing 3-6 record, but that’s due to injuries ravaging them this season. Lamar Jackson returned to the lineup in Week 9, completing 18 of 23 passes for 204 yards and four touchdowns in a 28-6 victory over the hapless Miami Dolphins.

Derrick Henry has also seemed to have gotten back on track, running for over 100 yards in two of the Ravens’ past three games. If he and Jackson can continue to play at that level, they present challenges in both the run and pass games that can make life hard on any defense.

The Vikings’ defense, though, also may have found its way. They had their most complete game of the season in Week 9’s win over the Lions, allowing only 305 total yards and getting a season-high five sacks on Jared Goff. Can Brian Flores build on that performance and carry it over against the Ravens?

Here are three keys for the Vikings’ defense in Week 10 against the Ravens.

Slow down Derrick Henry

The Vikings’ run defense has been one of the most bizarre oddities of their 4-4 season. They allowed Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell to rush for 99 yards in Dublin. Chargers runner Kimani Vidal ran 23 times for 117 yards and two touchdowns against Minnesota in Week 8.

But against premier rushing attacks over the past few weeks, the Vikings have stepped up. They held the Eagles to only 45 rushing yards in Week 7, almost giving themselves a chance to pull off the upset. On Sunday, the Vikings held the Lions to only 65 yards on the ground, setting up 3rd-and-long situations that allowed Flores to draw up blitzes and pressures on Goff.

Can they do the same against Henry, who looks like the star back we’re accustomed to? Or will the Vikings revert to their inconsistent ways against the run?

Contain Lamar Jackson on the ground

Henry isn’t the only one who can make the Vikings pay on the ground, though. Jackson is one of the greatest running quarterbacks in NFL history. Twice he’s run for over 1,000 yards, and he led the entire league in yards per rushing attempt the last two seasons.

The Vikings have had mixed results against mobile quarterbacks this year. They held Jalen Hurts to one run for a yard before he took three kneel-downs to end the game. But Justin Herbert ran six times for 72 yards.

Jackson, who hurt his hamstring and may be inclined not to run as much this soon after the injury, ran five times for only 18 yards against the Dolphins last week. But his mobility can also lead to extending pass plays, even if he isn’t looking to run.

Defend the intermediate area of the field

According to Next Gen Stats, no quarterback has been as efficient as Jackson when throwing intermediate routes (10-19 yards downfield). He has averaged plus-1.29 EPA per dropback on such throws. That’s plus-0.23 higher than the next-highest quarterback, who happens to be Goff.

Interestingly, the Vikings didn’t have much success against Goff on intermediate passes in Week 9. He completed 5 of 8 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown. But how many of the Vikings’ five sacks and 20 pressures affected potential intermediate passes? If they can replicate that strategy against the Ravens, they will have a good chance of minimizing big plays and keeping Jackson out of his comfort zone.
