The Baltimore Ravens certainly want to take over first place in the AFC North, using a dominant first half to lead the Houston Texans, 17-2, at the half. Lamar Jackson had a nine-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely to set up the Ravens’ latest touchdown on an MVP-type throw, and it came just plays after finding Mark Andrews for a 67-yard gain.
Jackson is 6 of 11 for 147 yards and a touchdown in the first half while also rushing for 25 yards. Derrick Henry also has a touchdown run while rushing for 94 yards (86 of which came in the first quarter). The Ravens scored on three of five possessions and racked up 261 yards of total offense in the first half.
The Texans have struggled to get anything going on offense, with their only points coming via safety. C.J. Stroud and the offense was stopped on a fourth-and-goal at the 3-yard line late in the second quarter, as Joe Mixon was tackled short of the goal line. Baltimore responded with a six-play, 99-yard drive that resulted in the Likely touchdown.
