Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson was impressive against the Ravens before leaving with a right knee injury.

For the Vikings, the spotlight falls on quarterback Tavares Jackson in his third year. He is a talented, athletic quarterback who needs to improve as a passer this year. In a classic Ravens defensive turnover scenario, on third and 11, Jackson completes a 13-yard gain for a first down at the 42-yard line. Jackson shows his versatility by making plays both on the ground and through the air, including a pass to his tight end Shank at the Ravens' 41-yard line. Adrian Peterson enters the game, but it's Jackson's play-action pass that stands out, completing a sideline throw with both feet inbounds. On the 11th play of the drive, Jackson finds Martin Nance for a touchdown, capping off an impressive opening drive for Minnesota. Despite facing pressure from the Ravens' defense, Jackson continues to make plays, including a 12-yard completion to Bobby Wade. However, Jackson's night ends early due to a right knee injury sustained after a hit from Antoine Barnes. He finishes with a strong performance, completing seven of 11 passes.
