Lamar Jackson leads Baltimore to a convincing win against Houston, securing the AFC North title.
The Baltimore Ravens clinched the AFC North lead with a commanding 31-2 victory over the Houston Texans on Wednesday night. This win, coupled with a Pittsburgh Steelers loss earlier in the day, propelled the Ravens to the top of the division. Lamar Jackson was the driving force behind the Ravens ' triumph, showcasing his exceptional talent with a 48-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and a touchdown pass to Mark Andrews in the same quarter.

Jackson's performance was stellar, accumulating 168 passing yards and 87 rushing yards while distributing the ball to eight different receivers. Derrick Henry played a crucial role, opening the scoring with a touchdown run in the first quarter and racking up 147 rushing yards on 27 carries. The Texans' only points came from a safety in the second quarter after tackling Henry. C.J. Stroud, the Texans' quarterback, completed 17 of 31 passes for 185 yards with an interception.
