After a Steelers'' loss to the Chiefs, the Ravens were in the driver seat to win their division with a potential win against the Texans. Prior to the game, the Ravens were loose and the message that was sent out was themselves and not turn over the ball. On their opening drive, the Ravens put King Henry to work, and it panned out as they went down the field in eight plays and scored of a two-yard touchdown run by Henry. I guess Lamar Jackson was like, hey, I can take a few plays off, because the ball was given to Henry, and he gashed the Texans for nine-yards per carry at one-point in the half.


We can praise the offense, but the Raven's defense was all that in a bag of chips. After Houston got a big run from their special teams and a couple plays later, they were on the verge of scoring. Baltimore buckled down and stopped Houston from scoring on a fourth and goal. Right before halftime, Jackson had another ESPN Top 10 moment as he scrabbled in the pocket and threw a dart to Mark Andrews for a power sprint of 67-yards. Jackson finished the drive throwing a touchdown pass off his backfoot for a 17-2 lead.


Everything was going pretty well for Baltimore, but they knew that they could not be content coming out of the locker room. The Ravens forced a pick and capitalized off the pick with another touchdown to put the game out of the reach for the Texans. Jackson finished the game, break Mike Vick's rushing record and finished 10 of 15 for 168 yards through the air, 87 rushing yards, and 2 touchdowns on the ground and 1 through the air.


King Henry busted the Texans for 147 yards and 1 touchdown.
