Quarterback Lamar Jackson scampered for a 15-year touchdown run in the opening drive of the second half to put the Ravens back up 17-10. The touchdown run capped off a six-play, 55-yard drive that took 2:56 off the clock.
With his third-quarter score, Jackson became the first Raven ever to record both a rushing and passing touchdown in a single playoff game.
Baltimore's drive was helped by a 37-yard kick return by Devin Duvernay.
Now, it'll be up to the Ravens' defense to hold on to a lead against an upstart Houston Texans team that has kept this game close as a 9.5-point underdog.
