In a decisive Week 12 matchup, the Baltimore Ravens topped the Houston Texans with a final score of 33-14, solidifying their position in the playoff race. With this win, the Ravens continue to demonstrate their strength as one of the top teams in the league, while the Texans face a tougher path ahead in their pursuit of postseason contention. Lamar Jackson led the offensive charge for Baltimore, throwing for 194 yards and connecting effectively with his receivers. However, it was Derrick Henry who truly dominated the ground game, racking up an impressive 159 rushing yards, consistently breaking tackles and pushing the Ravens down the field. The combination of Jackson's arm and Henry's power proved too much for the Texans' defense. Defensively, the Ravens made their mark with a critical interception from Marlon Humphrey, which shifted momentum in Baltimore's favor. Although Kayden McDonald and Azeez Al-Shaair made notable contributions for the Texans, with 1.5 sacks and 9 tackles respectively, the Ravens' ability to capitalize on turnovers and control the game tempo ultimately sealed their victory. The turning point came in the second quarter, when Humphrey's interception set up a pivotal touchdown that widened the gap and put the Ravens in command.
