The Baltimore Ravens remained undefeated at home during both the regular and post season this year. The Ravens also remained undefeated against the Houston Texans. This game was a little closer than the first one this year. The Texans continuously fed their star running back Arian Foster who ended up with 27 carries for 132 yards and a TD. Ray Rice was held to just 60 yards on 21 carries even though he got his opportunities.
The difference was that our quarterback Joe Flacco threw 2 TD passes and no interceptions and the young Texans QB threw no TD passes and 3 interceptions. The Ravens definitely need to improve in some areas but they did enough to win and hold onto the lead once they got it. The Ravens will have to go on the road to face an explosive New England Patriots offense led by Tom Brady.
The major area of concern for me is that the Ravens led the NFL in sacks but had no sacks today. We will definitely need a better pass rush when we play the New England Patriots next week.
