The last time the Ravens and Vikings squared off, in 2017, Minnesota wore the purple jerseys at home for a 24-16 victory. The last time the two teams met at M&T Bank Stadium was 2013 for the all-time classic "Snow Game" with a wild ending and 29-26 Ravens victory. The Ravens also wore purple jerseys and black pants that day.

As for which jersey Lacie DeCosta will wear this week …

Good Morning #RavensFlock first jersey clue. Sticking with offense. This year all of his catches have resulted in first downs.
