A pair of fourth down conversions really helped the Ravens offense, which would have been clearly worse than the Texans tonight had it not been for another bout of Savage turnovers. Credit to the Ravens, I suppose, for understanding early on where there were offensive limitations and the need to do something unusual to overcome them.
The Texans, meanwhile, refuse to use the entire width of the field. The Ravens D had a gameplan to blitz often and hold in the secondary, and it mostly worked. I would have liked to see the Texans put in a couple RB screens to keep the Ravens from overusing the blitz. Yes, Savage has a slow processor, but the Texans found a way to make Terrell Suggs look 10 years younger.
