HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston Texans enter Week 5 with the same record as an opponent they haven’t been able to get past in more than a decade: the Baltimore Ravens.
Their last regular season matchup was forgettable for Texans’ fans, unless of course you’re a Beyoncé fan, so then the halftime show performed by the singer on Dec. 25, 2024, was a treat.
The rest – not so much – as the Ravens beat the Texans 31-2 at NRG Stadium.
The Ravens have also won the last five matchups versus the Texans, with Houston’s last win coming over Baltimore in 2014. The Texans beat the Ravens in that game, 25-13.
Can they finally snap the Ravens’ streak?
That’s the hot topic in this week’s “Countdown to Kickoff,” airing Sunday at 11 a.m. on ABC13.
The Texans will travel to Charm City and face the Ravens on their turf.
But as ESPN writes, this will not be the same Baltimore team the Texans faced last Christmas.
The Ravens have been decimated by injuries.
That includes to their quarterback Lamar Jackson, who the team ruled out on Friday after he suffered a hamstring injury the week before in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Still, the Ravens have a weapon in running back Derrick Henry, who has run for nearly 1,600 yards against Houston in his career with 13 rushing touchdowns.
On Sunday, the Texans are going to have to figure out how to stop him.
“You’ve got to get in front of him, man. You know how they say don’t get in front of a moving train? But you’ve got to get in front of that train before he gets going. Like I said, he’s a great player. Obviously, he’s a Hall of Fame – type player the numbers he’s put up in his career,” Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair told ABC13’s Greg Bailey.
If the Texans pull off a victory, it’ll be their first-ever road win against Baltimore.
Kickoff is at noon.
