The Baltimore Ravens toppled the Houston Texans with a decisive 28-8 victory in Week 12 of the 2026 season. This win solidifies the Ravens' standing as they push for playoff positioning, while the Texans struggle to find their footing in a challenging season. Lamar Jackson was the standout performer for Baltimore, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities with 94 passing yards and 65 rushing yards, contributing a touchdown on the ground. His dynamic playmaking kept the Texans' defense on its heels, while the Ravens' offense effectively controlled the tempo of the game. C.J. Stroud managed a lone touchdown pass for Houston, but it was not enough to spark a comeback against the relentless Ravens. Defensively, the Ravens made their mark with a crucial interception by Marlon Humphrey, which shifted momentum firmly in Baltimore's favor. Despite Houston's Sheldon Rankins registering a sack and Kamari Lassiter leading in tackles with three, the Texans struggled to contain Jackson. The game's turning point came early in the second half when Jackson orchestrated a quick scoring drive that extended the lead, leaving Houston with little room to maneuver.
