The Texans didn’t look like a team that walked in the door undefeated, and they walked out with plenty of questions.

Quarterback Matt Schaub frankly squandered an early lead and a solid defensive stand by his guys, and his interception which was returned for a touchdown was the spark that allowed the Ravens back into the game for a 30-9 win.

Schaub’s bigger problem at the moment is the health of wide receiver Andre Johnson, who limped off the field and wasn’t productive when he was there, with five catches for 36 yards.

The Ravens took advantage of Daryl Smith’s interception return, and an 82-yard punt return touchdown by Tandon Doss on a day when their own offense was lackluster. They clearly missed the injured Ray Rice (hip flexor), as Bernard Pierce was limited to 65 yards on 24 attempts.
