Lardarius Webb had two interceptions and Ed Reed had another one as the Baltimore Ravens beat the Houston Texans 20-13 to advance to the AFC Championship Game.
Billy Cundiff’s second field goal, a 44-yarder, gave the Ravens their final points of the game after Webb’s second interception.
The interceptions were the story, but this game was a dogfight.
Arian Foster gained 132 yards on 27 carries and got in the end zone for Houston’s only touchdown of the game. It’s the first 100-yard rushing game the Ravens have allowed in the playoffs.
Foster’s efforts weren’t enough to overcome an early fumble by Jacoby Jones and three interceptions by T.J. Yates.
Baltimore’s offense struggled for most of the day, in large part because the offensive line had trouble protecting quarterback Joe Flacco. Flacco was sacked five times on the day.
Flacco had two touchdowns, both in the first quarter and both following Houston turnovers. He also threw for 176 yards.
Baltimore will pay a visit to the New England Patriots next Sunday with the Super Bowl on the line.
