What to Know

The Houston Texans have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They are on the road again on Sunday and play against the Baltimore Ravens at 1 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium. Both teams are strolling into their contest after big wins in their previous games.

You can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Houston's strategy against the Jacksonville Jaguars two weeks ago. Houston was the clear victor by a 26-3 margin over Jacksonville. Houston's success was spearheaded by the efforts of RB Carlos Hyde, who picked up 160 yards on the ground on 19 carries, and QB Deshaun Watson, who passed for 201 yards and two TDs on 28 attempts. Watson ended up with a passer rating of 120.40.

Meanwhile, if there were any doubts about the heavy odds in favor of Baltimore coming into their matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals last week, the squad laid those doubts to rest. Baltimore put a hurting on Cincinnati to the tune of 49-13. QB Lamar Jackson had a stellar game for Baltimore as he picked up 65 yards on the ground on seven carries and threw three passing touchdowns. Jackson ended up with a perfect passer rating of 158.30.

Their wins bumped the Texans to 6-3 and the Ravens to 6-2. A couple stats to keep an eye on: The Texans come into the matchup boasting the second fewest rushing touchdowns allowed in the league at three. But the Ravens rank first in the league when it comes to rushing touchdowns, with 15 on the season. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
