Ravens WATCH: Lamar Jackson Celebrates TD Run In Tunnel vs. Texans For 31-10 Lead
The Ravens finished the season playing stellar defense and on Saturday, there's no sign of rust anywhere in Baltimore's Divisional round matchup against the Houston Texans.
After a 10-10 stalemate at the half, the Ravens scored on their first three possessions of the second half to hold a 31-10 lead with six minutes remaining in the game.
The third touchdown - scored on an eight-yard scramble by Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson - put Baltimore up by 21, and was celebrated by Jackson and his teammates in the end zone tunnel.
The two teams played pretty evenly matched in the first half, a defensive masterpiece by both teams, but particularly by Baltimore, who didn't allow an offensive touchdown. The Texans' sole end zone appearance came on a 67-yard punt return for a touchdown by Steven Sims.
The Ravens scored in the first half with a 53-yard field goal by Justin Tucker and a three-yard touchdown pass from Jackson to wideout Nelson Agholor.
But the Ravens offense came to life in the second half, with two rushing scores by Jackson of 15 and eight yards, and a 15-yard scoring toss from Jackson to tight end Isaiah Likely.
With a win, the Ravens will make their fourth trip to the AFC championship game against the winner of the Bills-Chiefs game on Sunday.
The Houston Texans have never appeared in an AFC championship game since their inception in 2002.
