C OAC H H A R BAU G H S AY S the R avens adjusting to a unique

gameday setting :

“I felt like we handled the situation well. It was just a different kind of situation. We hadn’t played yet without fans; I felt the difference. It was a little bit off-putting, in a way, and we had to deal with that and try to find a way to make sure we manufactured our energy throughout all of that. That’s just different for us to deal with. We handled the situation well. Now, we have our feet in the ground. We understand what it is, and where we’re at and where we’re going. Hopefully, we have the chance to accelerate a little bit and improve as a football team.”

(0-1)

QUICK HITS • The Baltimore Ravens (1-0) play their first road game of the 2020 campaign when they face the Texans (0-1) in an AFC showdown at NRG Stadium (4:25 p.m. ET). Last Sunday, Baltimore defeated the visiting Browns, 38-6, after the Texans opened the NFL season at Kansas City on Thursday night with a 34-20 loss.

I N J U RY U P DAT E Starting LT Ronnie Stanley (ankle) left the Browns game and did not return. RB Justice Hill (thigh), DT Justin Madubuike (knee) and WR Chris Moore (broken finger) were all inactive in Week 1.

• In the win over Cleveland, QB Lamar Jackson completed 20-of25 (80%) passes for 275 yards and 3 TDs, producing a 152.1 passer rating. WR Marquise Brown produced his second-career regular season 100-yard receiving game (101 on 5 catches), while TE Mark Andrews registered 2 TD catches, finishing with 5 receptions for 58 yards. Additionally, rookie RB J.K. Dobbins posted 2 rushing scores. Baltimore’s defense limited Cleveland to 0-for-3 on fourth down and 3-of-12 (25%) on third down.

NOTE THE QUOTE

DE Calais Campbell

on QB Lamar Jackson: ”The guy is special. What he does out there, I’ve never seen it before. The way he moves with the ball in his hand, and then while he’s moving, running full speed in a different direction, throws the ball on a tight rope and puts it right on the money – it’s just like, ‘Wow!’ You don’t really see that too often. I’m excited for him, because he’s only getting better; he’s getting wiser. Every rep he takes, he’s becoming more polished.”

• Baltimore leads the regular season series with Houston, 8-2. Under head coach John Harbaugh, the Ravens are 7-2 overall (1-0 playoffs). • The Ravens last played Houston in 2019, winning 41-7 in Baltimore. During that game, the Ravens racked up 491 yards of offense, including 263 on the ground. Baltimore was led by QB Lamar Jackson, who threw 4 TDs and produced a 139.2 rating. Baltimore’s defense was superb, registering a season-high 7 sacks and 2 takeaways (1 FR & 1 INT), while limiting the Texans’ attack to a season-low 232 yards.

W H AT’S G O I N G O N?

• Dating back to 2019, the Ravens have won 13-straight regular season games. Not since Carolina (18-straight during the 2014-15 seasons) has an NFL team won as many regular season games in a row.
