Texans Prepare for a Critical Clash Against Ravens
The Houston Texans are heading into a pivotal match against the Baltimore Ravens, hoping to rewrite last year’s disappointing narrative.

This encounter, slated for Week 5 at M&T Bank Stadium, offers the Texans a chance to redeem themselves following a strong victory over the Tennessee Titans.
Nico Collins Emphasizes Authentic Play as Key to Victory
Wide receiver Nico Collins has highlighted the importance of the Texans playing true to their style for this crucial game. “We faced a tough loss on Christmas—on Netflix too, which wasn’t what we wanted,” Collins remarked in an interview with Aaron Wilson of KPRC2. “Now, it’s a fresh page and an opportunity to prove ourselves in Baltimore.”
Historical Challenges in Baltimore
The Texans have historically struggled on the road in Baltimore, holding a 0-8 record in both regular season and playoff games over their 24-year history. Collins expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of breaking this cycle: “Baltimore is a respected team with a storied franchise. We’re eager to take on the challenge and aim for what could be a significant win.”
Ravens’ Injury Concerns May Impact Game
The Ravens are facing potential setbacks with key players, including Lamar Jackson and Marlon Humphrey, appearing on their injury report. This uncertainty might affect the lineup, yet the Texans remain focused on their strategy and gameplay.
Key Players and Strategies to Watch
- Houston’s Strategy: Concentrating on their own game plan and maintaining the momentum from their recent win.
- Baltimore’s Potential Challenges: Navigating the game with possible key absences.
As the Texans prepare for this weekend’s clash, the anticipation is building for an exciting and potentially historic match-up in Baltimore. The team’s focus is clear: to play authentically, seize the opportunity, and possibly secure their first victory on Baltimore soil.
