For the Texans to pull off an upset in Baltimore Sunday, they need to play error free football.

They made a huge error in the first five minutes of the game.

Texans punt returner Jacob Jones fumbled a punt that was recovered at the two-yard line by Baltimore. The Ravens cashed in with a one-yard touchdown throw to Kris Wilson a few plays later to give Baltimore a 7-3 lead. It was Wilson’s first catch of the season.

Houston was off to a strong start before that. A long kick return by Danieal Manning set up a Texans field goal and Houston’s defense forced a three and out on the Ravens’ first offensive series.
