NFL Playoffs: Ravens Dominate Texans, Lions and Buccaneers Prepare for Showdown

Key adjustments by Ravens overcome Texans' blitz, while Lions' Goff faces pressure challenge against Buccaneers' aggressive defense.

  • Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens beat the Houston Texans 34-10 in the AFC playoffs, with Jackson throwing two touchdown passes and running in another score.
  • The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by quarterback Baker Mayfield, are set to meet the Detroit Lions, led by quarterback Jared Goff, in an NFC Divisional Round playoff game.
  • The Detroit Lions won their first playoff game in 32 years last week, and are hosting a postseason game for the first time in three decades.
  • Jared Goff has struggled when under pressure from opposing defenses, a weakness the Buccaneers may exploit as they have blitzed opposing quarterbacks on 40% of their defensive snaps during the 2023 NFL season.
  • The Baltimore Ravens made key adjustments to beat the Texans' blitz, with Jackson getting rid of the ball more than a second quicker in the second half compared to the first half.
