Sunday's game between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens featured no shortage of subplots. One of the biggest was a duel between two young quarterbacks who are among the leading candidates to be named the NFL's most valuable player in Houston's Deshaun Watson and Baltimore's Lamar Jackson.
It wound up being an elimination bout. The Ravens laid waste to the Texans in a 41-7 demolition. With Jackson going off while Watson was shut down, the latter's candidacy for the league's biggest individual honor took a massive hit.
There are two horses in the MVP race now. One just made the Texans look foolish.
