The Ravens lead the all-time series, 11-2, including a 1-0 advantage in the postseason. The first Ravens-Texans playoff meeting occurred Jan. 15, 2012, when Baltimore prevailed, 20-13, in the divisional round at M&T Bank Stadium. Including that postseason victory, the Ravens are unbeaten (7-0) at home against Houston. This is a rematch of Week 1, when Baltimore opened the season at home with a 25-9 victory. Lamar Jackson completed 17-of-22 passes for 169 yards, no touchdowns and one interception, while rookie Zay Flowers caught nine passes for 78 yards in his NFL debut. Baltimore’s defense didn’t allow a touchdown, holding Houston rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud to 242 yards and sacking him five times. Roquan Smith led the Ravens with 16 tackles.
