That FG was huge for Houston. Baltimore was getting good first down yardage but Houston played good defense deep down the field to prevent the big play attempts by the Ravens.

This keeps the score within one score and Houston will get the ball on their own 20 after the touchback.

Surprisingly the first touchback of the game

A one yard run on first down and short three yard gain on the screen pass will set up a third and six that Houston is unable to convert.

The pass should have been picked off by LB Ray Lewis as the ball goes through his hands and off his shoulders.

Houston cannot keep giving T.J. Yates third down passing situations against this Baltimore defense. They must start moving the ball on first down an Arian Foster must get going.

He has just nine yard rushing on five attempts so far. That will not do.

[Stardust]

The punt from P Matt Turk is fair caught on the 33 yard line as Baltimore will get the ball back after the three and out from Houston

[Strikeout King]

good stop by the Texans D

[Stardust]

Joe Flacco is unable to connect with Anquan Boldin as CB Jason Allen was there to break that up.

And a Ricky Williams sighting on second down as the former Texas Longhorn star gets five yards up the middle

[Stardust]

Jones is having a BAD game

[Strikeout King]

Intercepted by Baltimore

[Stardust]

The Flacco throw on third and five is just behind his TE Ed Dickson and falls incomplete.

The punt is muffed again by Jacoby Jones but he is able to pick it up and return it to the 23

Rookie QB T.J. Yates throw it right to CB Lardarious Webb for the easiest pick in his career.

Terrible throw as Yates was starting right as Andre Johnson the whole time and Webb was in front of Johnson the whole time.

Yates is a rookie. He should not be throwing the ball too often on first down in my humble opinion.

TD Ravens.

I'm just about to give up on this game. Texans Offense suck and The D isn't much better

[Stardust]

The screen pass to RB Ray Rice is very effective as he advances the ball near Houston's ten yard line and a first down.

The Texans blitzed and Rice was able to sneak behind the rush and the nice lob pass to him was perfectly placed and Rice just had to turn it up field.

[Stardust]

Another perfect pass from QB Joe Flacco was completed to Anquan Boldin for the TD as Jason Allen had no chance to cover that pass and precise route run by Bouldin.

[Stardust]

Houston Texans 3, Baltimore Ravens 17

[vundy33]

I don't know how anyone could pick Houston...Flacco and Co. are on a mission. Let's go Ravens!

[Stardust]

14 points off turnovers spell are the story of this first quarter.

A Jacoby Jones muffed punt and a pick from rookie QB T.J. Yates set up easy points for the Ravens offense and gives them a quick two TD lead at home.

[Stardust]

S Ed Reed almost comes up with another INT as the deep throw to Kevin Walter is short after the play action throw.

If Yates throws that about 1-2 seconds earlier that could have been a big play but Yates' hesitation allows Reed to get to Walter down field and break up the pass.
