BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans each have used a dual-threat quarterback and an opportunistic defense to become first-place teams in the AFC.
Now it’s time to find out who does it better.
The Ravens (7-2) have won five straight, their longest winning streak since 2006, and own a comfortable lead in the AFC North. Houston (6-3), which stands atop the AFC South, won four of five before a bye last week.
Sunday’s showdown could ultimately be a factor in postseason seeding.
“Both teams have done a great job this year, so I’m excited about it,” Baltimore safety Earl Thomas said.
