00:00Ravens absolutely dismantled the Texans yesterday. A game that was really never a game. 31-2 in
00:10Houston. Just the safety when Derrick Henry, who was a monster in the contest, tackled obviously
00:16in the end zone and not when he scored the touchdown. I'm talking earlier,
00:20leading to those Texans points. That was it. That was the high moment for Houston in that game.
00:25Again, I mean, just a performance that really orchestrated who we are versus who you are out
00:33of the Baltimore Ravens improving to 11-5. A game in front of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC
00:38North with one game to go. Lamar, 168 passing, 87 rushing, three total touchdowns. Henry, 148,
00:47or rather 147 on the ground, had a touchdown as well. Good day for me, Joe. I mean, it could have
00:52been an unbelievable day. It could, like Nico Collins, if he hadn't, you know, come up short
00:57for me, could have paid for Christmas yesterday. But nevertheless, it was a solid day out of the
01:03Ravens, a fraudulent day out of the Texans, and if ever there were a good time for a game to happen
01:09opposite Christmas dinner, it was this one. I mean, this game was quite over before it really
01:16even started. I mean, after the first quarter, the Ravens had 115 rushing yards and Houston had
01:23eight. And that is pretty much what happened the rest of the way through there with the Ravens
01:29finishing with 228 rushing yards. The Texans had 45. Two points on a safety that I'm still trying
01:37to figure out what that play call was, that you're somehow going to pitch it out to Derek Henry
01:42instead of having him go north and south, you're having him go east and west, which was
01:48interesting on the goal line. But kudos to the defender, the rookie that made the tackle in the
01:53end zone. But that was the highlight of the Texans day. I mean, 31-2, and this is a Houston team
02:03playing at home that we're supposed to take seriously moving forward. I can't. I mean,
02:09there was levels to this. And what we saw from Baltimore, Houston's not even remotely close here.
02:17So much like Pittsburgh, I think Houston is in big trouble moving forward. It doesn't make a
02:22difference what they do next week, obviously, because they've already qualified for the
02:26playoffs. And then what? There's no help on the way here with this Houston team. And I think that's
02:35the problem here. They've lost all the guys that mattered to them. The offensive line was suspected
02:40best, and they're no longer flying under the radar. They're now the hunted, Adam, which makes
02:47this a totally different year than last year where nobody saw them coming. Now everyone's looking for
02:53them, and that is a totally different feeling. And obviously, 31-2 later, now they understand what
03:01it feels like to be the hunted.
