Texans Rout Ravens 44-10, Highlighting Baltimore Struggles

The Baltimore Ravens suffered a humiliating 44-10 home defeat against the Houston Texans, dropping their season record to 1-4. Analysts noted the Ravens showed no fight and were thoroughly outmatched, with problems evident on both offense and defense, compounded by numerous injuries including the absence of quarterback Lamar Jackson. The Ravens defense performed poorly, allowing the Texans to score on every first-half possession and piling up significant yardage, while the offense only managed 92 yards and a single field goal. Despite some key defensive players returning from injury, the Ravens' pass rush has struggled, and their offense had to rely heavily on running back Derrick Henry due to the quarterback situation. The loss highlighted broader organizational issues and a season that appears to be slipping away, with suggestions that the team might become sellers at the trade deadline. Overall, the Ravens face an uphill battle to recover as they navigate a difficult schedule and injury challenges.
