Lamar Jackson, Ravens top Texans, reach AFC Championship Game

BALTIMORE — Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson answered some questions about his playoff chops Saturday night in a 34-10 divisional round win over the Houston Texans, but he had plenty of help.

The Ravens’ dominant defense showed no rust after a bye week, shutting down sensational rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud as the Baltimore advanced to the AFC Championship Game against the winner of Sunday’s game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs.

Jackson has accomplished just about everything during the regular season and is likely headed toward his second MVP award, but he was just 1-3 in the playoffs until Saturday. He’s hoping that two more victories this campaign will silence all doubters.

Jackson gave the Ravens something they’ve never had in their 28-year existence: an AFC Championship Game on their home field.

Hurting the Texans with his legs as much as his arm, Jackson totaled four touchdowns and 100 yards rushing for the Ravens’ first divisional round win since their 2012 Super Bowl campaign.

Jackson recorded his third 100-yard rushing game in the postseason, surpassing Colin Kaepernick for the most by a quarterback in NFL history. Jackson also is the fourth player to record 100 yards rushing and two touchdown passes in a playoff game in NFL history and the first since Kaepernick in 2012.
