National reaction to Ravens advancing to AFC Championship game with 34-10 win over Texans
The Ravens avoided the repeat of 2019, advancing to the AFC title game after a dominant 34-10 win over the Houston Texans at M&T Bank Stadium.
The win gave Baltimore two wins over DeMeco Ryan’s team, and the combine scores of 56-19 provides some insight into just how far Houston has to climb before they can start thinking about championship Sunday.
Lamar Jackson was dominant from start to finish, and will likely win his second NFL MVP after accounting for 252 yards, four total touchdowns and a `121.8 quarterback rating.

Lamar Jackson is now just the second player in the Super Bowl era with 2+ passing TD, 2+ rushing TD and 100+ rushing yards in a single playoff game, joining Colin Kaepernick in 2013.
