Getty ImagesWhen the Ravens took an early 17-3 lead Sunday, it looked like we were headed for another AFC divisional round blowout.
Thankfully, Arian Foster and the Texans have fought back with a vengeance.
Houston has closed the gap to 17-13 late in the second quarter after some terrific playmaking by Foster. He has 124 yards rushing and receiving on the day. The Ravens have 79 yards combined as a team.
If not for some mental blunders by the Texans, Houston would be leading this game. They have controlled the line of scrimmage.
The Texans have been able to convert a few third and long plays. Ed Reed hasn’t made Texans quarterback T.J. Yates pay for a couple of loose plays.
This game looks a lot more like 49ers-Saints than Broncos-Patriots. We hope it stays that way.

Arian Foster is not just a product of a great line, what an amazing RB.
The Ravens look like a speed bump on the way to Indy.
Foster>FieldTurf
Its a good game so far.
God, if Reed could hold on to the ball Jake would be in.
C’mon Ed!
Flacco and Cameron are perfect for each other. Will never win a title with a multi-loser Cameron.
Don’t let Jacoby Jones return any more punts.
In watching the halftime show, all I can think about is… WOW… Boomer has an enormous head!
That is a truly awe-inspiring nugget.
I can’t look away…
a speedbump on the way to Indy?? lulz.
Texans defense ain’t stopping the Pats offensive juggernaut buddy, keep on dreaming.
Where are the idiots that said Ben Tate can easily replace Foster?
hm by this time in the game the patriots had more points than both these teams combined. should be a good game next week tho.
With Flacco putting up Tebow-like numbers, Texans got a chance. Stop the Rice and you stop the Ravens. Flacco is the Matt Ryan of the AFC.
He’s making Ray Ray look old, fat and slow. Other than the cheap forearm shot to the head Lewis gave Daniels, has he had a tackle?
Ravens should be happy that their in this game thanks to the two BAD turnovers . But I can hear the Ravens fans saying thats part of the game but when other teams do it its called luck ect LETS GO TEX !!!!!!
I was wrong about Flacco. He’s much worse than I thought.
Brilliant PR move getting Suh on the half time show.
Who said Joe Flacco was a great quarterback? Oh, that’s right, no one.
“If not for some mental blunders by the Texans, Houston would be leading this game. They have controlled the line of scrimmage.”
If we are speaking in theoreticals, maybe we should discuss the three dropped INTs by Baltimore’s defense. Just saying. You can spin it either way.
ravens are dominating this game
It would be hard to live if the Ravens win hearing the Pats and Raven fans OMG Just shot me now
hey Flacco their talking about you about how a QB who olny played what 3 games is better so far LMAO
Suh in the studio? I hope he stomps Marino
im praying that you are jinxing them right now. as a ravens fan this is becoming a painful game to watch
In other news, Joe Flacco is a freaking stud of a quarterback. Just ask him, he’ll tell you all about himself.
What a freaking joke this guy is. “Look at me! Look at me! Oh wait! I still suck! On second thought: Look the other way! Look the other way!!”
Just go away Joe.
And before you say it, I know he won his two Super Bowls this year in beating the Steelers. However, the crows are never going to win the February Super Bowl with this clown.
GO STEELERS!
Remember when this site said the pats dyansty was over
Ravens are dominating what game, today’s game?? They are behind in every statistical category except turnovers, which were unforced turnovers by Houston. ravens are lucky Texan return guy is trying to give away the game.
Mike bro you must a crystal ball on your desk
Very intuitive of you. How are them Vikings?
Christian Ponder went off last night. Dude threw five tuchdown passes in the first half! Wait, Mike, that was Tom Brady.
Greg tell Mike the pats dynasty is over, would you?
Bill Belichick doesn’t deserve the praise anymore. This site said that right?
NFLs 31st ranked defense….. can’t win with that. can’t do it.

Wait till you play the Jets next week. Then choose between Flacco and Sanchise.
Oh wait……………..
I hope the ravens lose for how they did my Steelers. Right now I’m very jealous! Like the commercial say: I had a bad day. Then the hometown Saints lost and LSU. All my teams were losers this year. Come on town knock Bmore out so the steelers will feel better

If your implying that I’m in some way a jets fan you sir are an idiot. I’ll take my QB Stafford over both those d***bags
Can someone on the Texans coaching staff inform TJ Yates that the Texans are trying to win this game? Sheesh
What exactly is a helmet to helmet hit?

Why are Gumble and Dierdorf chuckling in amusement that Boldin slammed Allen’s head into the turf? He grabbed the helmet of a guy who was on the ground and bounced it off the turf. And the guys in the booth found it amusing.
Note to Joe Flacco…..
When the defense is playing lights out, has generated 4 turnovers, and the offense can’t put the game away to save their life—–not a lot of credit for that win goes to the QB. That’s just the way life goes, Joe. And please lose that stache, it’s nasty.
No home team has lost a playoff game this year. That won’t change.
For everybody who was saying at the beginning of the season that Foster was a one year wonder, Foster says “how does my #*%@ taste?”
