Ravens Soar Past Texans at M&T Bank Stadium in Dominant Display

In a clash that saw the Houston Texans fall to the Baltimore Ravens with a final score of 34-10, both teams' seasonal records were brought into sharp relief. The Texans now stand at 10-7, while the Ravens have soared to an impressive 13-4 record.

The game was marked by the Texans' struggle to find their rhythm on offense. Despite their efforts, they managed only 213 total yards compared to the Ravens' commanding performance. The lone bright spot for Houston came from their special teams unit, with a dazzling punt return touchdown covering 67 yards – the highlight of an otherwise challenging outing.

Houston's defense put up a valiant effort, tallying three sacks and nine tackles for loss against Baltimore's offense. They forced four three-and-outs and delivered five quarterback hits throughout the game. However, these moments of defensive pressure were not enough to turn the tide in favor of the visitors.

On offense, Houston's passing game was unable to break through Baltimore's defense effectively. With a completion percentage hovering around 58 percent and an average gain per play standing at four yards, opportunities were left on the field as they completed just eight first downs through air travel and one via ground efforts.

Penalties also plagued Houston; they racked up eleven penalties costing them a significant 70 yards throughout playtime. This lack of discipline undoubtedly hindered any momentum they might have garnered during their time on offense.

The rushing attack didn't fare much better for Houston as they accumulated only 38 yards across fourteen attempts – averaging three yards per carry with just one rush resulting in a first down conversion.

Kicking duties offered mixed results; while one field goal attempt sailed true from beyond fifty yards out for three points, another missed its mark leaving potential points unclaimed.
