Texans specials have been hurting them

[Stardust]

That was, how to I say this, not a good punt.

[Stardust]

S Benard Pollard, the former Texan, puts a licking on WR Kevin Walter after the catch and stops the first down.

The punt is a bad one that trickles out of bounds at the Baltimore 26 after a decent roll in Houston's favor.

[Stardust]

flacco a split second away from fumbling every time

[Stardust]

: Flacco's feeling it too. Third sack for Watt in the half.

[Stardust]

That is the 7th 3-and-out for the Ravens

[Stardust]

These punt exchanges keep moving the Texans a few yards up the field....

[Stardust]

It was the fifth 3-and-out for Ravens in this half.

[Stardust]

Time is now for Houston. Foster, then some misdirection bootleg.

[Stardust]

Texans should take a shot here

[Stardust]

Joe Flacco has been sacked 4 times in only 10 dropbacks against 4 or fewer pass rushers today.

[Stardust]

Tough to defend that route

[Stardust]

A. Johnson always seems to come up with the big separation and catch.

[Stardust]

The Ravens already have seven 3-and-outs today, well above their regular season average of 2.3 per game (T-10th in NFL).

The struggles aren't too surprising though as the season high for 3-and-outs in a single game is 9 by the Ravens in Week 7 against the Jaguars.

[Stardust]

Wow....huge recovery by J Jones

[Stardust]

Into triple coverage? Really?

[Stardust]

Great play-a lot of bodies around Daniels. But that INT isn't much different than a punt.

[Stardust]

Not all INTs are created equal though-again, maybe a 10 yard difference than an upcoming 4th down punt

[Stardust]

Stop the presses... it's a first down!

[Stardust]

oh snap, they're completing passes now

[Stardust]

Lardarius Webb becomes third Raven to make two interceptions in a postseason game, joining Ed Reed and Duane Starks.

[Stardust]

Both of T.J. Yates' INTs have come on passes 11+ yards downfield.

[Stardust]

Ravens picked the right time to finally come up with a drive

[Stardust]

And Batimore gets the first down after the huge third and one run from big FB Vonta Leach gets Baltimore just enough for the first.

Baltimore is starting run some clock down with just four minutes remaining in this fourth quarter.

[Stardust]

Now it's officially slipping away from the visitors.

[RunItUpTheGut]

Run that clock.....

If Baltimore get 2 more 1st downs its over....

IF we would have took that FG earlier we could have ended it with one here...
