Ravens vs Texans Preview
After a disappointing loss to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the season opener, the Texans now have to contend with Jackson, who seems to have picked up right where he left off during his MVP campaign last year.
In the Ravens’ Week 1 opener against the Cleveland Browns, Jackson went 20-25 for 275 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for 45 yards in what was ultimately a 38-6 beatdown of the Browns. Now, in Week 2, he’ll be going up against a defense led by one of the best in the business in J.J. Watt.
That Houston defense looked a bit rusty in the opener against Kansas City, however, giving up 166 yards on 34 carries (that’s 4.9 yards per rush) — and that doesn’t bode well for them against Jackson and company, who boasted the best rushing attack in the NFL last year. Baltimore also started off a bit slow themselves when it came to rushing, however, averaging just 3.7 yards per attempt in their win over Cleveland, but Texans coach Bill O’Brien knows this offense starts and ends with Jackson.
“He’s just got a very unique skill set,” O’Brien said about the Ravens quarterback this week. “Obviously he’s very fast, he’s very quick. Over time he’s become a better passer. He’s a very accurate passer. He does a really good job using all the people around him. They have a great scheme … he’s the MVP, so we’ve got … a big challenge ahead of us.”
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh knows the feeling, also expressing his admiration for the opposing quarterback this week.
“He’ll throw it to anybody. He’ll throw it deep. He’ll throw it short. He’ll throw it to every different receiver — you saw that last week — and he’ll run,” Harbaugh said about Watson. “It’s a big concern for a defense, a major problem for any defense and we’re working to try to figure it out this week.”
