The defensive coordinator was tasked with stopping the league’s highest scoring offense and neutralizing an MVP candidate in quarterback Lamar Jackson, and doing so without his All-Pro defensive end J.J. Watt. However, it isn’t anything Crennel hasn’t faced before as a three-time Super Bowl-winning defensive coordinator. The Texans offense broke to Jackson’s onslaught and had no further answers as he completed 17-of-24 for 222 yards, four touchdowns, and rushed nine times for 86 yards. The Texans offense would have had to generate the type of performance they did against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5, a 53-32 win, to have kept pace with the Ravens because of how ineffective the defense was Sunday afternoon.
