Jeremy Cluff writes: “Did anyone think both the Texans and Ravens would be 1-3 at this point of the season when the NFL schedule came out? Hard to believe that one of them could fall to 1-4 on the season.”

Bill Speros writes: “Baltimore remains in free-fall, losing 3 of 4 Buffalo, Detroit and now, Kansas City. Lamar Jackson ended Sunday’s 37-20 loss in KC on the bench with a possible hamstring injury. The Ravens damaged and depleted defense betrayed them in all 3 losses, giving up 117 points. The Texans dropped 3 straight to begin the season before rolling to a 26-0 win in a working-bye against Tennessee. This number fell 2 points Sunday night. Still, the Texans can keep it close enough.”

Sportsnaut: Texans 23, Ravens 13

Matt Johnson writes: “The fact that we only have C.J. Stroud and Co. putting up 23 points against this Baltimore Ravens defense should tell you everything about the Houston Texans’ offensive line. Even an injury-decimated Ravens defense will be able to generate pressure on Stroud. However, the Lamar Jackson injury (hamstring) is a death blow for this Ravens offense. Houston will be able to run the football on Baltimore, and just a few clean pockets will allow Stroud to hit Nico Collins deep. The best performance, though, will come from this Texans defense suffocating the life out of a Baltimore offense led by Cooper Rush.”
