The Texans are more of less dominating the Ravens, everywhere but the scoreboard.

Houston’s holding a 6-0 lead early in the second quarter, but it’s not for a lack of control over the game.

The Texans held the ball for 12:15 of the first quarter, with a pair of Ravens three-and-outs. But their own offense has been limited to a pair of short Randy Bullock field goals, taking some of the shine off a solid running game.

Baltimore’s obviously struggling without the inactive Ray Rice, as he could have clearly helped them convert that third-and-33 they just faced.
