Team Stats (2023 Regular Season)

The Texans ended the regular season with a 10-7 record, finishing first in the AFC South. They are coming off a Wild Card win over the Cleveland Browns that saw C.J. Stroud become the youngest quarterback ever to win a playoff game. He tossed for 274 yards and three touchdowns, including touchdown passes to Nico Collins, Brevin Jordan, and Dalton Schultz in the dominant 45-14 win. Stroud had some help from a defensive unit that returned two interceptions for touchdowns on consecutive drives to put the game out of reach.

The Ravens finished first in the AFC with a 13-4 record. During the regular season, they boasted the league’s fourth-best offense (28.4 points per game), while finishing first in team defense, allowing just 16.5 points against per game. Quarterback Lamar Jackson has thrown for 3,678 passing yards with 24 touchdowns and 7 interceptions while leading the team in rushing yards with 821 (ranking 22nd in the NFL). Zay Flowers is the top receiver with 858 yards and five touchdowns and on the defensive unit, Roquan Smith leads the team in tackles with 158.

Houston and Baltimore Quarterback Matchup:

With the Wild Card win over the Browns, C.J. Stroud has joined some elite company. He became the youngest quarterback ever to win a playoff game, beating out Michael Vick, who was 22 years and 192 days old in 2002 when he beat the Packers. Stroud was 22 years and 102 days old when he passed for 274 yards and three touchdowns, going 16-for-21 without any interceptions in the 45-15 win over Cleveland. He’ll be looking for a repeat performance against a dominant Ravens defense.

At the other end, Lamar Jackson continues to impress with the Ravens. His 3,678 passing yards rank 15th in the league, while his 24 touchdowns are tied for 11th. He’s throwing at a 67.2 percent completion rate and has rushed for 821 yards (22nd in the NFL) and five touchdowns. But it won’t be his stellar regular season that people remember… Jackson will look to put his playoff demons behind him with a win over the Texans.
