Both the Texans and the Ravens have clinched a playoff berth for the upcoming NFL postseason. Now it's all about the playoff seedings in the AFC conference and securing a home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
Last week, the Ravens got the better of the Steelers, and therefore they can pass Pittsburgh in the standings of the AFC North table. The Baltimore Ravens must win their two remaining games, though. So now the Ravens are at the fifth spot in the AFC Playoff seedings, Steelers are at the third, and the Texans at the fourth spot. The Ravens have won seven out of their last ten games. They got off to a bad start to the season but found themselves along the way.
Baltimore has a record of ten wins and five losses so far this NFL season. They are led by the excellent QB, Lamar Jackson. The Ravens are aiming to win the AFC North so they will play at home in Baltimore in the wild card round. There is a big possibility that these two teams face off in the wild card round if they remain at the 4th and the 5th position in the seedings. Baltimore has the best offense in the NFL, thanks to Jackson.
The Houston Texans have already secured the top spot in the standings of the AFC South. Houston has a record of nine wins and six losses at this point of the season. The Houston Texans lost to the Kansas City Chiefs last week, 19-27. Houston had won six out of their previous games before the loss to the Chiefs. The Texans have their two best receivers out for this game. Stephon Diggs and Tank Dell are out, so their third option at the receiver position, Nico Collins, must deliver and catch some passes for the Texans. QB CJ Stroud will do his best to find him down the field.
The Texans head coach Demeco Ryans will have to play without Foley Fatukasi, Juice Scruggs, and Shaq Mason. They are all out for the Houston Texans. Denico Autry is doubtful. As far as the Ravens go, Justice Hill, Jalyn Armour-Davis, and Nelson Agholor are out. Ravens head coach, John Harbaugh, will make some proper adjustments.
