2019 Houston Texans Game Day Live: Texans vs. Ravens (First Quarter)

I, like every Texans fan and Ravens fan—really, anyone who’s a fan of football at all—am giddy about this week’s game. Finally, after a week of speculation about how Houston will contain Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ dynamic offense, we will learn whether Bill O’Brien, Romeo Crennel, and their players are up to the task of beating another AFC contender on the road. The Ravens are on fire right now, and defeating them in Baltimore would go a long way toward answering the question of whether the Texans are legitimate contenders.

Texans-Ravens is about to get underway, and this is the place to talk about what you’re seeing as it happens live. The floor is yours.
