Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans
Ravens stand firm in Houston.Ray Lewis celebrated his return to the starting line up by pulling off a last ditch tackle as the Texans looked to convert 4th and goal as time ran down at Reliant Stadium.
Down by four, the Texans recieved the ball with 9 minutes remaining and marched up the field on the back of some strong running by HB Ben Tate. When the Texans claimed 1st and goal after a dubious pass interferance call, it looked like the writing was on the wall as the Ravens D had struggled to contain the Texans offence all night. Lewis had other ideas and he rallied his teammates in a remarkable 4 down defensive stand.
The game was a tense affair from start to finish. Veteran reciever Derrick Mason opened the scoring in the first quarter, connecting with Flacco's flighted pass from 36yds out, his first score of the season. The Texans hit back as the 1st quarter drew to a close when Steve Slaton powered through the Ravens defence to score from 29yds out. In the 2nd, Dante Stallworth recorded his 6th touchdown of the year as he went in from 20yds. Houston were forced into 2 FG, the second a monster conversion from 55yds. to come within a point at the half.
Shayne Graham scored the only points in a tight 3rd quarter as he slotted over from 36yds to record his 23 FG of the year. The Texans took the lead in the game for the first time when Slatton went in again, converting 3rd and goal from 2yds out. The Ravens, facing a 2nd succesive defeat, dug deep and drove up the field on the back of some determined running by R Rice, who scampered in from 1yd out to score. With 9 minutes left in the game the Texans looked to have plenty of time, and seemed unstoppable as the drove upfield, only to be halted at the very end by the indomitable Lewis
Lewis and his team mates will need to be on the top of their game again next week as the host the 9/4 Saints as they look to keep the pressure on Pittsburgh (11/2) in the race for the AFC North.
