Sunday Football Afterword: Ravens vs Texans

This Sunday we saw a classic Ravens game: no offense and a great defense and special teams score all the points. Houston started out strong and then went flat after the first quarter. The Ravens took advantage of turnovers and put a few scores on the board before Houston could recover.

The defensive line did an excellent job containing the run and forcing Matt Schaub to make some risky throws. Flacco looked pretty average in the first half, but made some pretty nice throws late in the game.

Ed Reed was not too much of a factor against his old team, only recording three tackles.

Houston now needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to get the offense going.

Baltimore looked crisp on defense but the offense needs to find ways to put some points on the board. Relying too much on the defense to force turnovers and score points will not last forever. Otherwise, it was a great win by the Ravens.

Final Score:
Houston Texans – 9
Baltimore Ravens – 30
