00:00Baltimore handled their business against Pittsburgh last week.

00:07They got to take on, I don't know, a Houston, Texas team.

00:10To me, it's just heading in the wrong direction that, you know, you're picking up Deontay

00:16Johnson off of waivers in desperation because you don't have anybody else.

00:23They can't figure it out in the second half.

00:25There's no adjustments.

00:26They're the worst second-half team in the NFL.

00:30I don't see them playing from in front in this game, and that's the problem here.

00:34How do you see this?

00:35I'm totally in agreement.

00:38From where their season started, the hype coming in off of Stroud's year last year,

00:42you bring in digs like you think you have this high-flying offense ready to go.

00:46And we saw Joe Mixon start the year super strong.

00:49That has all changed.

00:50And their defense isn't consistent.

00:51Their offense can't move the ball.

00:53Their offensive line is terrible.

00:54Stroud is constantly under pressure.

00:56There's nothing that says to me, like you said, if they do not get out in front, they

01:00won't have the lead at any point, and the Ravens will win wire to wire.

01:04They will take care of business.

01:05Lamar, one passing, one rushing, a rushing touchdown from Derrick Henry.

01:09And at no point do I think the Texans will be live to win and probably not even cover.

01:15I just don't think there's any path for them outside of a disaster game from Lamar with

01:19two pick sixes.

01:20I don't think there's a shot that the Texans win this game.

01:24I'm with you.

01:25And what people haven't noticed, Tom, is that since week 10, the Ravens haven't given

01:30up more than 315 yards in a game to any team.

01:34This defense has gotten better as the season has progressed.

01:38And I don't see Houston being the one that gets them to revert back to.

01:43I don't see a 400-yard performance here from this Houston offense.

01:48And if the game is out of hand, are the starters even playing?

01:52Are you risking any more injuries in the second half with Houston?

01:57At that point, no.

01:58I mean, Neal Collins is great, but if he's not getting the ball, who do they have on

02:01offense besides Joe Mixon?

02:03They already won the division.

02:04They're making the playoffs.

02:05So like you said, you actually may want to reel things back on Joe Mixon as the game

02:09comes to a close.
