Official Texans @ Ravens Game Thread, 11/17/2019

[Arky]

(No internet for Arky for 2 days. Thanks, AT&T.)

The 6-3 Texans travel to Baltimore to play the 7-2 Ravens in an early game Sunday. Talk about hype, this should be a good'un. The Texans are coming off their bye week and should be healthy and rested. The Ravens are coming off drubbing the Bengals 49-13 on the road. This a matchup of two division leaders and is receiving quite a bit of air time.

These two might meet in the playoffs so this game could be an indicator of what to expect in the post-season. The strategies will be something to take note of. I originally had figured the Texans would lose by a FG and thus cover the 4 pt. spread. But Walterfootball had such a glowing preview (for the Texans) of the game that I decided to tail him and go with the Texans to win it outright. He has the Texans as his November Pick of the Month....

Gametime!

Texans receive the opening kickoff.

Oy, Texans move into Ravens territory but Watson does too much dancing and fumbles, Ravens recover at the Texan 41.

Defense holds and the Ravens miss the 43-yard FG.

10:02 left in the 1st qtr.

No score.

If this PI isn’t called on the challenge then the rule should be eliminated. Hopkins got spun before the ball arrived.

[Arky]

A jersey pull, hitting the receiver before the ball arrives.. How can that not be interference?

Deep ball to Hop in the endzone is under review.....

[Arky]

Play stands as called.

Ravens takeover on downs.

[Arky]

Texan defense holds again and the Ravens will attempt a 55-yard FG.

Fake! Didn't work!

Texan's ball at their 39, good field position.

2:12 left in the 1st qtr.

Get rid of the rule. Missing that in real time is poor. Staring at that on replay and refusing to admit your mistake is malfeasance.
