In case anyone missed it, Casserly just said on CBS that the Texans "absolutely" want to re-sign Mario. His franchise tag would be around $22 million.

@capannfl #Ravens have 4 CBs active vs. #Texans. Veteran CB Chris Carr, who carries a base salary of $2.5 million for 2012, is a healthy inactive.


Hmm...

oh and this:
@hannahstormin Sal Pal reporting @HoustonTexans are surprisingly loose before the game. #fearthebull

So pumped up, I don't even know what to say.

You boys ready?

[Arky]

Ready, Freddie.

Let's get 'er done, boys....

[Keith]

Texans to receive opening kickoff.

Yates, PA pass deep to Jacoby? That's my playcall. I smell a handoff to Foster though.

[Arky]

Ravens win the toss and will defer. Texans to receive.

Nice return by Manning! Brings it back to the Raven 41.

[Arky]

Yates hits AJ for 11, 1st down.

Pass to AJ good for about 5. 2nd and 5 coming up.

Foster for 4. Brings up 3rd and 1.

Foster comes up short of the 1st down. Texans to go for the FG.

Rackers 4-yarder is good.

Texans 3, Ravens 0

12:24 left in the 1st qtr.

[TheMatrix31]

Wish we coulda stayed on the field there. I'll take it though!

Ya, there's a stat going around about how when the Ravens score first, they always win...don't remember the details, though....

[Arky]

Ravens bring the ensuing kickoff back to their 22 or 23. Ravens fumble but recover.

-----------------------

Rice for no gain. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Deep pass to Smith is inc. 3rd and 10 coming up.

Flacco can't find a receiver and throws it away. Ravens have to punt.

Oh man, JJ muffs the punt. Ravens recover at the Texan 2.

[Nconroe]

Pretty good start. Too bad we didn't get fumble recovery.

[TheMatrix31]

Yeah kick that shit.
