Ravens hold off Texans, 20-13

It wasn’t pretty, but the Baltimore Ravens used a strong defensive effort in the second half to hold off the pesky Houston Texans, 20-13.

The Ravens used four turnovers to their advantage, building a 17-3 lead in the early going and looking like they might turn the game into a blowout.

Instead, Houston responded by pounding away with running back Arian Foster, who had a monster second quarter to finish with well over 100 yards rushing.

With a 17-13 lead heading into halftime, the Ravens defense regrouped and came out of the locker room intent on shutting down the Houston running game.

The Ravens did a much better job on Foster in the final 30 minutes, and will now head to New England with a chance to play in the Super Bowl on the line.
