Head Coach Kevin O'Connell
On the loss: "In many cases, it was things we did to ourselves. Lose the turnover battle 3-0 and then the penalty situation, which we've gotta get fixed immediately. Whatever was going on with the cadence or whatever it may be, it's just not acceptable in any way. We've gotta get it fixed, and we will."
QB J.J. McCarthy
On the Ravens batting down passes at the line of scrimmage: "It's just absolutely killer. It's a credit to them up front. You know, they played a tremendous game. They had a tremendous game plan, threw the kitchen sink at us in terms of coverage, pressures, new looks. But yeah, it's the little things like that. I think it's the worst play in football, a tipped ball at the line of scrimmage."
On his interception to Marlon Humphrey: "[Cover 0 defense], 1-on-1, and I have the greatest receiver in the world. So, I don't care who it is out there, I'm going to give him a chance. And I didn't see him fall. It's just one of those things where he catches it and it's great; he doesn't, it's an incomplete, or it's an interception. There's different things where it can lead to that outcome. But 10 times out of 10, I'm gonna give him a shot."
WR Justin Jefferson
On his production: "The ball didn't really find my hands today. That's a part of football. It's a part of our life. It's tough to get those opportunities, and we've got to make the most of those opportunities. Just gotta go back to it, go back to work and, in practice, fix the things we need to fix so on Sundays it's a cakewalk."
OLB Andrew Van Ginkel
On his bat-down on Lamar Jackson's third-down pass attempt late in the fourth quarter: "We knew Lamar was going to be a big task for us and that we had to slow him down. We knew it was going to take all 11 of us getting to the ball and just trying to slow their run game down. We got some tipped passes, and we just got to find a way to come down with them."
RB Aaron Jones
On the Vikings' eight false start penalties: "Sometimes, it's hard to hear. They're making 'move calls' up front, so sometimes it sounds like it could be J.J. [saying], 'Set hut,' but they're making move calls and you see them stem, and so they're trying to get [you] to jump as well."
