The Ravens (7-2) enter Week 11 second in the AFC, one game behind the New England Patriots—whom they dealt their only loss. Jackson was superb in last Sunday’s 49-13 demolition of the Cincinnati Bengals, accounting for 288 total yards of offense and four touchdowns.
Jackson posted a perfect 158.3 passer rating—the second time he has done that this season—by completing 15-of-17 passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns. However, it was his 47-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that set social media ablaze, highlighted by a spectacular spin move en route to the end zone.
The 22-year-old Jackson has thrown for 2,036 yards and 15 TDs, while also adding 702 rushing yards and six scores. He has already eclipsed his 2018 rookie rushing total despite having 41 fewer carries and is still on pace to join Michael Vick (2006) as the only NFL quarterbacks to rush for 1,000 yards in a season.
Baltimore’s defense contributed a pair of touchdowns, as Marcus Peters returned an interception 89 yards and Tyus Bower raced 33 yards with a fumble recovery. The Ravens have only 14 takeaways, but they rank second in the NFL in points scored off them with 87 and recorded five touchdowns.
Houston (6-3) has a one-game lead atop the AFC South and is coming off its bye week. The Texans cruised to a 26-3 victory over Jacksonville in Week 9 at Wembley Stadium in England with Watson completing 22 of 28 passes for 201 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Carlos Hyde rushing for a season-best 160 yards.
The 24-year-old Watson is also putting together an MVP-caliber season, completing 70.2 percent of his passes for 2,432 yards and 18 TDs with only five interceptions. While not as likely to run as Jackson, Watson remains a dual threat with 279 yards and five rushing scores as he looks to lead the Texans to a fifth win in six games.
The Texans did not miss injured defensive end J.J. Watt all that much in their first game since he suffered a torn pectoral muscle that cut his season short for the third time in four years. Houston recorded four sacks against Jacksonville, including two by linebacker Brenan Scarlett. The Texans are tied for 21st in the league with 21 sacks, while the Ravens have yielded 19 sacks, good for 11th-fewest.
This will be the first head-to-head meeting for the quarterbacks as the teams are playing for the first time since Baltimore held off Houston for a 23-16 victory in Week 12 of the 2017 season.
