Texans @ Ravens LIVE

That Ravens D

Remember when I mentioned that the Ravens defense held the Texans out of the end zone in Week 1? And Stroud to just 242 yards and five sacks?

Yes. Well. They only got better from there this season, becoming the first team to lead the league in: points allowed (16.5), sacks (60), and takeaways (31).

Stroud may have an impressive touchdown-to-interception ratio (23-5, the best in the league), but the Ravens defense held him off once, and it looks like they could do it again today with a Super Bowl on their minds.

Brrrrrrr

It's COLD today in Baltimore! 

With strong winds up to 11-17 mph and cold temps, this game could actually be impacted by the weather today as it's just going to keep getting colder.

Ravens lead all-time series

The Ravens have won maaaany more times in this matchup with an 11-2 overall record against the Texans. In the postseason, they're 1-0 over the Texans. 

That's since 2012, when the Ravens beat Houston 20-13 at home to move on to the AFC Championship Game and eventually become Super Bowl winners. 

In seven games, the Ravens have never lost to the Texans at home. Their most recent matchup was Week 1 of this season, when the Ravens beat the Texans 25-9. In that game, the Texans were unable to score a single touchdown, with the Ravens defense holding C.J. Stroud to just 242 yards and sacking him five times.

Let's talk about C.J. Stroud

The Texans quarterback made History last week by becoming the youngest QB to win a playoff Game in their 45-14 victory over the Browns. He threw for 274 yards and three touchdowns.

The passing Game is just where Stroud thrives, finishing 15 Games of the regular season with 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns to just five interceptions.

He's certainly been impressive in his rookie campaign, but will it be enough to get past the dominant Ravens defense and take it one more step tonight?

What does it mean to have home-field advantage?

The Ravens get home-field advantage throughout the entirety of the playoffs, but that's really just two games (if they win today) since they got the bye week last week.

And they took advantage of that week off from a Game by practicing in their home stadium, where they did not trail by more than seven points until the final week of the season, when they'd already locked the No. 1 seed and rested their starters. Injuries have been recovered from, players are very well-rested. The Ravens are ready to dominate at home.

The Harbaugh brothers in Baltimore

Jim Harbaugh coached the Michigan Wolverines to a national championship and his brother John was there to witness it.

Now, Jim is in Baltimore hoping to watch his brother lead the Ravens to the AFC Championship game on the way to a Super Bowl run. 

Brotherly love at its finest!

Jackson vs Stroud: How do they compare?

Lamar Jackson's the NFL MVP top candidate and has experience in the postseason on his side.

C.J. Stroud's the top Rookie of the Year candidate and has surprised everyone in the league with stats comparable to Lamar's.

How do they look heading into the AFC Divisional Round? It may be a closer comparison than you expect.

Texans and Ravens - how did they get here?

Ravens so far

Well, the Ravens ended the regular season with a 13-4 record and won the top seed in the AFC with the NFL's top MVP candidate Lamar Jackson leading the offense. They were rewarded the bye week last week and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. 

Texans so far

The Texans had one of their best seasons yet with Rookie of the Year candidate C.J. Stroud at quarterback, finishing the regular season at 10-7, winning the AFC South and home-field advantage in the Wild Card Round, and then obliterating the Cleveland Browns in that round. 

What's at stake?

Now, the Ravens host the Texans to see who will move on to the AFC Championship Game next week.

If the Texans manage to beat the Ravens, it would be the first time they made it that far in the playoffs in team history.

If the Ravens win, it will be the first time they've made it that far since they won the Super Bowl in 2012 and would host the winner of the Bills vs Chiefs game.

Researchers find potentially dangerous bacteria on smartwatch wristbands

Researchers have found cloth, plastic and rubber smart watch wristbands can create ideal environments for bacteria linked to staph infections and E.coli. The study from Florida Atlantic University analysed 20 smartwatch wristbands worn by a mix of men and women made of materials like metal, leather, plastic, cloth and rubber. They found near all the bands were contaminated, but those made of metals such as gold or silver harboured little to no bacteria. Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >> Meanwhile, wristbands made of cloth had the most bacteria, followed by those made of plastic and rubber. In the study, published in the journal of Advances in Infectious Diseases, researchers said it was because “porous and static surfaces tend to attract and be colonised by bacteria”. The researchers found common bacteria on the bands was linked to very contagious staph infections, E.coli, which can cause food poisoning or pneumonia, as well as pseudomonas aeru

Putin asserts Ukrainian counteroffensive has begun, while drones strike within Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Ukrainian troops have started their long-expected counteroffensive KYIV, Ukraine -- Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted Friday that Ukrainian troops have started a long-expected counteroffensive and were suffering “significant” losses. His comments came just hours after a string of drone strikes inside Russian territory. It was Putin's latest effort to shape the gut-wrenching narrative of the invasion he ordered more than 15 months ago, sparking widespread international condemnation and reviving Cold War-style tensions. The conflict entered a complex new phase this week with the rupture of a Dnieper River dam that sent floodwaters gushing through a large swath of the front in southern Ukraine. Tens of thousands of civilians already facing the misery of regular shelling fled for higher ground on both sides of the swollen and sprawling waterway. Kyiv has played down talk of a counteroffensive, reasoning that the less said about its military

Chelsea make the most expensive substitution in football history against Brighton

The sheer quantity of multi-million-pound flesh at Chelsea is mind-boggling - and a logistical nightmare. After an absurdly extravagant January transfer window, Graham Potter was forced to field a 9v9 training match running concurrently with the standard 11v11 session just to ensure everyone had something to do. Supposedly, some of the club's cherished assets were also forced to squat on the floor at team meetings due to the lack of chairs for the bloated squad. Four seats opened up on the Chelsea bench shortly before the hour mark when Frank Lampard made the call to draw upon his intimidating squad depth as the Blues went in search of a winner against Brighton on Saturday afternoon. How the Blues were even level by the time the fourth official's board lit up was a mystery given Brighton's dominance on the ball and in both boxes. Roberto De Zerbi's side continued to play the intoxicating fluid football which has steered the Seagulls to seventh place, rattling off 20 sho
