Lamar Jackson Pushes Baltimore Ravens Over Texans, to AFC Championship Game

Transcript

00:00 What the Baltimore Ravens have just done sets in motion a number of cogs in the AFC wheel

00:08 and beyond.

00:09 Mike Fisher reporting on the NFL.

00:10 34 to 10, Baltimore Ravens win in their Saturday home game.

00:14 The crowd, you, very much involved in helping to take down the visiting and upstart Houston

00:21 Texans.

00:22 34 to 10, the final score, 10 to 10 at halftime.

00:23 And then Lamar Jackson at halftime took over in the locker room with some expletives.

00:28 And then in the second half took over on the field.

00:31 Four total touchdowns.

00:33 Ravens now move on to the AFC championship game.

00:35 They'll take the winner at home of Kansas City at Buffalo, the Sunday night game.

00:41 Of course, the Buffalo Bills want to handle Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey and the Chiefs

00:47 so they too can advance back to the AFC championship game and maybe even back to the Super Bowl,

00:53 a place, of course, in the early 90s where they were a regular suitor.

00:59 They would like to go back and avenge some of the things that happened to them in those

01:03 Super Bowl games against the Dallas Cowboys and much, much more.

01:06 Of course, wrapped into this is the successful season of the Houston Texans.

01:11 This is a magnificent turnaround under a quartet of rookies.

01:15 Well, Anderson, the defensive lineman, the head coach, D'Amico Ryan, the offensive coordinator,

01:19 Bobby Sloak.

01:20 And of course, in his first year, C.J. Stroud, who after the game says, "We have created

01:24 a rock-solid foundation under head coach Ryan's, but my background and where I come from and

01:30 what I'm used to, this still counts as a failure."

01:34 That's not, of course, the way the Houston organization looks at it, nor is that the

01:37 way the rest of the NFL looks at it.

01:40 The Houston Texans have built something really solid here that if things go just right, might

01:46 just allow them to catch up sometime soon with the Chiefs of the NFL and the AFC, with

01:51 the Bills and with the Ravens of the AFC and the NFL as well.

01:56 On the NFL, Fish out.
