The Baltimore Ravens narrowly defeated the Houston Texans 24-21 in a tightly contested Week 12 matchup that had playoff implications for both teams. With this victory, the Ravens solidify their standing in the postseason race, while the Texans face a crucial moment in their campaign. C.J. Stroud led the Texans with a standout performance, throwing for 222 yards and two touchdowns. However, it was Lamar Jackson's dynamic play on the ground that proved pivotal for the Ravens, as he rushed for 93 yards, complementing a solid receiving effort from Emeka Egbuka, who tallied 96 yards. The offensive battle highlighted both teams' ability to move the ball, but it was Baltimore's versatility that ultimately sealed the win. Defensively, Jermaine Johnson II shone for the Ravens, recording 1.5 sacks that disrupted Houston's rhythm at critical junctures. The game's turning point came late in the fourth quarter when Jackson orchestrated a methodical drive, capped off by a touchdown that shifted momentum firmly in Baltimore's favor. Despite Calen Bullock's eight tackles and Jalen Pitre's interception for Houston, they couldn't stop the Ravens' late-game surge, sealing their fate in this hard-fought contest.
