Texans Dominate Ravens 44-10 in Historic Baltimore Blowout Amid Key Injuries

The Houston Texans pummeled the Baltimore Ravens 44-10 at M&T Bank Stadium as C.J. Stroud threw for 244 yards and four touchdowns and Houston scored on its first eight possessions. Baltimore, now 1-4 and suffering its third straight loss, was severely depleted by injuries — including Lamar Jackson (hamstring), Kyle Hamilton, Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, Ronnie Stanley, Patrick Ricard and season-ending Nnamdi Madubuike — and was outgained 417-207. Backup Cooper Rush struggled under pressure, throwing multiple interceptions while the Ravens managed only 33 rushing yards from Derrick Henry and failed to sustain drives. The rout highlighted Baltimore’s ongoing defensive collapse (having allowed 37+ points in four of five games) and prompted boos from the home crowd and mounting media and fan concerns that the team’s Super Bowl hopes are fading. With key starters sidelined and little production from replacements, analysts say the Ravens face an uphill climb just to get back to contention this season.
