The Ravens advanced to their first AFC Championship Game since the 2012-13 season with a 34-10 victory over the Texans. Jackson threw two touchdown passes and ran for two scores, and won for only the second time in five playoff games. Jackson ran for 100 yards on 11 carries and had 152 yards passing with no turnovers.
The Ravens defense kept Houston out of the end zone without forcing a turnover or getting a sack against quarterback C.J. Stroud. The Texans scored on a 67-yard punt return by Steven Sims in the second quarter. The Ravens outscored Houston 24-0 in the second half.
