How many times do people need to say it? DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS. The Texans-Ravens game had plenty of defense from the third and fourth ranked defense in the AFC. Baltimore had four takeways including one that came with a minute left in the game that ended Houston’s cinderella run to the finish line. Baltimore started the game strong taking a 17-3 lead in the first quarter with Joe Flacco throwing two touchdown passes. After Reed’s takeaway he appeared to limp off the field.
