Five thoughts about the Ravens’ 33-16 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday at the NRG Stadium:
I’m sure Texans head coach Bill O’Brien will take a bit of heat to move to fourth place in his own 34-year-old at the end of the first quarter of the game. When the gamble failed, the Ravens quickly turned the opportunity into a touchdown and controlled the rest of the game for a 2-0 improvement in 2020. Why did Brian gamble? He had the case of Raven-Itis. That is, he knew his team would need to get a lot of points to beat Lamar Jackson and Ravens, so he tried to maintain possession, set a tone and try to keep Jackson on the bench. It wasn’t a great idea against the Ravens ‘offensive defense, and in that respect, neither the Cleveland Browns’ Week 1 failed a fake punt attempt from the deep depths of their own field. What’s going on The Ravens are putting so much pressure on their opponents with their high scoring offense, only to realize that those opponents are hurting themselves with a low percentage of risks. As if the Ravens, the winners of 14 straight regular season games, aren’t going enough for them already.
You won’t find a game that is better suited to what Cornbachx means as a superb like ‘Ravens All-Pros’, Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters. Humphrey delivered the game’s most decisive play, a punch-out that disrupted the reception when Texans’ Cake QT was boosted by Ravens by six points in the second quarter. Luke Fort cut the yellow ball and returned it for a touchdown that put the Ravens safely in command. “There’s really a momentum of momentum in the game,” Ravens head coach John Harbo called the play. “After a few minutes, Peters doves to make perhaps the most beautiful distraction you’ve ever seen all season. But the result was so important that you didn’t see it because of Humphrey and Peters. The Texans’ top wide receiver, Will Fuller, couldn’t catch the pass. And his other receivers made a total of 16 receptions for 181 yards, but the Texans were expected to play catch-up all day. Hitting hard, making plays – but all-pro cornbacs are the center of that defense.
Out of 30 plays the Ravens ran in the first half, with only five handoffs for running backs, for a total of 16 yards. Baltimore was ahead but I was wondering if it was wise to stay away from the team’s record-setting attack a year ago, which was so effective. Then it bounced back in the second half, which, in essence, was a throwback for 2019. In the final two quarters, the Ravens were grabbing the ball to the ground on a long ball and snatching the Texans ’fast-declining hopes. Goose Edwards, Mark Ingram II and J.K. Dobbins finished with 176 rushing yards on 21 carry, and the entire ground game (including Jackson) totaled 230 yards. The play created by Ingram will be talked about by everyone, the 30-yard touchdown will run from Wildcat to fourth down, wide on the Jackson receiver. (Take the bow, offensive coordinator Greg Roman. I mean, Bravo.) But Edwards was the most effective back of the team, averaging over 10.3. y took advantage of the yard. “You remember me, please!” Indeed, Ingram is a starter and Dobbins is a new guy, but Edwards runs too hard and can’t get a solid share of the touch.
I’m sure Ravens’ locker room was stunned by the news that Cornerback Teven Young would miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury that sent him to the sidelines early Sunday. Talk about tough luck. A fifth-year player, Young spent the past year recovering from a neck injury he missed the entire season, and another knee injury he missed the entire 2017 season. The extra tough thing about this injury is that Young came back particularly strong from last year’s shock; One of the league’s top slot corners, it was an essential part of the secondary. The only positive side of the situation is that the Ravens have enough depth to fill for it. Anthony Everett came off the bench and recorded four unassisted recorded calls on Sunday, and Jimmy Smith, who is still fully capable at 32, faced three. Ravens will move on and be nice, but Young has a lot to look forward to for his unfamiliar player of 2020.
Takes short – the Texans were determined that tight end Mark Andrews didn’t beat them, and he didn’t catch just one pass for 29 yards. But in the second straight week, Jackson completed many more passes for his wide receivers (12 catches for 128 yards) than his tight end (two catches for 40 yards), as he continued to pull more field in 2020 … Jackson 18 passes The pass explained to nine receivers, the playmaking depth of Ravens … With the progress of the game, the pass rush overwhelmed Houston’s Deshaun Watson. Watson absorbs 13 quarterback hits, which is a lot સાથે With one sack, three unsustainable tackles and two quarterback hits, Tys Bowser returned to the city when he played college league football to make a difference … Ravens was a regular-season winning streak. .
