The Baltimore Ravens crushed the Houston Texans 31-2 on Christmas Day. The Ravens didn’t hold back against Houston, scoring four touchdowns and keeping the Texans out of the end zone in Week 17.
Baltimore has now won three straight games to improve to 11-5 and head coach John Harbaugh was pumped up after the dominant victory over Houston. “We’re just getting started. It’s the January season now. The December season is behind us, it’s the January season now,” Harbaugh said per Ravens reporter Sarah Ellison following Wednesday’s matchup.
With the win, the Ravens moved into sole possession of first place in the AFC North, making them the third seed in the conference for the moment. Quarterback Lamar Jackson was hyper efficient in Week 17, going 10-for-15 with 168 passing yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers. He added four carries for 87 yards and another score.
Jackson surpassed Michael Vick for the all-time QB rushing record with his 87-yard effort against the Texans. Vick set the record of 6,109 rushing yards in 143 games. Jackson is now the leader, racking up 6,110 yards on the ground in just 102 games.
