Welcome to Baltimore Dalvin Cook! The running back has just been added to the team after leaving the New York Jets - who he joined to play alongside Aaron Rodgers....

He busts out for a 19-yard rush on his first carry as a Raven - he could be a very handy pick-up for Baltimore.

There's over 12 minutes left but it's still time for the Ravens to run the ball as much as possible and start bleeding this clock.

They've got 168 yards of rushing tonight already so why not keep on pounding the rock anyway? Houston can't stop it and the game will slowly start to slip away.

Jason Bell, former NFL cornerback, on Sky Sports: “Right now you can see the pressure is getting to Stroud. The Ravens are giving him so many different looks, they are making him think again and again. They are throwing the entire front house at him”

Too much heat in the kitchen for Stroud and the rookie has to just throw it away a couple of times as Houston have to punt it back.

The Texans can't run it, but they need to find another way of moving the chains if they get the ball back still in the game - short passes, a few screens, get him rolling out by design.

Because right now, Stroud's got no time to think back there.

Right, what have you got CJ Stroud? Two touchdowns down, fourth quarter, on the road, against the top seeds.

Big ask!

Ndamukong Suh, 2021 Super Bowl winner, on Sky Sports: "That is a Championship response from the Ravens. Texans had a chance and were shut down by an elite defence and now the offence has taken over and look like they are about to be up by two scores."

Lamar Jackson finds Justice Hill again for the first down and with seconds to the end of the third quarter, Houston give away another pre-snap penalty - their seventh so far.

That gives Baltimore another five yards and edges them into the red zone as they change ends.

Lamar Jackson checks down to Justice Hill, who sneaks down the sideline for first down.

Actually, the officials are looking back and Hill stepped on the chalk two yards short.

A couple of Gus Edwards runs and a couple of passes get the Ravens up to halfway, where they'll go for it on fourth and one.

This time Lamar Jackson keeps it and converts with a 14-yard gain.

Baltimore bring the pressure and although CJ Stroud checks down to Dalton Schultz, it's not enough for a first down.

The Texans punt and Lamar Jackson will get it back on Baltimore's seven-yard line.

Finally, Houston have got something going on the ground.

Devin Singletary with a cut jump to evade a couple of tackles before being brought down for a 16-yard gain - more than double what the Texans had managed until now.

Three-time Super Bowl winner Troy Aikman: "It’s a lot for a young quarterback, against this defence on the road with the running game not taking any pressure off you. Everything is on you and it’s asking a lot."

Looks like it's going to be a quick three-and-out for the Texans before CJ Stroud bides his time and makes a completion to Dalton Schultz for a first down and a seven-yard gain.

Ndamukong Suh, 2021 Super Bowl winner, on Sky Sports: "Lamar knew coming out of half-time that the Ravens needed that spark and he was going to provide that spark."

During his half-time interview coach John Harbaugh said: "We've got to get something going on offence - I think we will." It took less than three minutes.

Lamar Jackson goes for the end zone on the opening drive but almost gets intercepted.

It's a risky throw and his receiver isn't near the pass really - probably should've been picked off but Jackson gets away with one.

We're back underway in Baltimore and Devin Duvernay runs back a nice 37-yard return to give the Ravens offence their best starting field position of the night.

Baltimore get the ball first in the second half and all eyes will be on Lamar Jackson - who had 50 rushing yards and only 52 passing yards first half.

He'll need more to get Baltimore over the line.
