The Baltimore Ravens qualified for the American League championship game, defeating the Houston Texans 34-10 on Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium.
After a fairly even first half, the Ravens took matters into their own hands upon their return from the locker room, thanks in particular to the brilliance of quarterback Lamar Jackson. The latter scored two very important majors, including one that broke the tie in the third quarter. He also added two touchdown passes and finished his night with 100 yards on the ground and 152 yards through the air.

Nelson Agholor and Isaiah Likely were the other two Ravens players to reach their opponent's end zone. For the Texans, only Steven Sims managed to react.
CJ Stroud, who had a standout performance against the Cleveland Browns last week, failed to repeat similar performances, completing 19 of his 33 passes for 175 yards.
The Maryland State team was simply dominant on the ground, gaining 229 total yards compared to just 38 yards for the Texans.
Kicker Justin Tucker opened the scoring for the Ravens by hitting a 53-yard field goal.
