Ravens HC John Harbaugh praises defense for effort vs. Texans in Divisional Round

The Baltimore Ravens had a massive win over the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round, winning 34-10 behind the team’s defense and a second-half offensive surge. Baltimore advanced to their first AFC Championship since 2012-2013 with the win and will host the game for the first time in franchise history.

“The defense was just as good as it could be. That’s a good offense over there. That’s a good quarterback. C.J. Stroud deserves a lot of credit. They’re very well coached. Their offensive line is really good and tough. It’s tough to get to the quarterback. Then, he gets out and starts rolling around [and] starts making plays downfield. I thought our guys chased him, and I thought we plastered [their receivers] downfield. Our coverage was just outstanding. We covered as long as we needed to so many times. He still made some really good throws. [They] have a heck of a running back [in Devin Singletary]. I thought our defense was just as good as it could be.”

Head coach John Harbaugh sang the unit’s praises when asked about his defense’s effort in the team’s Divisional Round victory. He talked about how they were as good as they could have been and mentioned their coverage as a key part of the game plan that worked.
