Lamar Jackson silenced critics in the Baltimore Ravens’ 34-10 win over the Houston Texans in the AFC divisional round.

The talk of the town for the Ravens heading into Saturday centered on whether they would orchestrate an encore performance from their upset playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans four years ago. The Ravens clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC in the 2019 season and then were sent home by the Titans in the AFC divisional round.

This time around, Jackson and the Ravens would not have a letdown showing.

Jackson led the way for the Ravens against the Texans. From his pair of touchdown passes to his 100 yards on the ground, he made it look quite easy against the reigning AFC South champions.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was left in awe of Jackson’s outing on the day.

"Lamar just played out of his mind," Harbaugh said during his postgame press conference.

Harbaugh also lauded Jackson for staying "locked in since Day One."

Jackson is now set to play in the AFC title game for the first time in his career. He will square off with either the Kansas City Chiefs or the Buffalo Bills next Sunday. Baltimore did not meet either of these two powerhouse AFC squads during the regular season.
