Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens have secured a well-deserved break after an impressive performance against the Houston Texans, winning 31-2. This victory capped off a challenging stretch of three games in just 11 days, during which the Ravens showcased their potential as serious Super Bowl contenders. With a win next week, they could clinch the AFC North title and Jackson's chances for a third MVP award are looking promising.
Coach John Harbaugh expressed his pride in the team's ability to dominate this grueling schedule, emphasizing their determination and hard work. Jackson's impressive passer rating of 121.6 puts him in striking distance of the NFL record, while Derrick Henry continues to excel with significant rushing yards. Despite some struggles from kicker Justin Tucker, who managed a crucial 52-yard field goal, the Ravens displayed a strong rushing game, significantly outpacing Houston.
After a rocky start to the season, the Ravens have turned things around, demonstrating that it's not about how you begin but how you finish. They are now poised for a critical matchup against the Cleveland Browns, aiming to solidify their position in the playoffs. The defense, which had faced challenges earlier in the season, stepped up to hold Houston scoreless offensively, proving their resilience and ability to perform under pressure.
However, the Ravens face some challenges, particularly in their running back depth and special teams, as injuries and performance issues have emerged. Despite this, the team remains focused on their upcoming games and the chance to secure a division title.
