The Houston Texans’ Cinderella story ended in the divisional round of the playoffs. They were no match for quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.
Jackson threw two touchdown passes and rushed for another two on 100 rushing yards, while the Ravens defense only allowed Houston’s offense to score three points on 213 yards.
The Texans kept it close in the first half with a 10-10 tie. Their only touchdown was a Stephen Sims 82-yard punt return for a touchdown.
In the second half, it was all Ravens, who scored on all four possessions.
The Texans did not turn the ball over but rookie quarterback C.J. Strout was held to 175 yards on 19-of-33 passing.
Baltimore will host the winner of the Chiefs-Bills game next weekend.
