Ravens Vs. Texans: Things To Know

BALTIMORE, MD — The Baltimore Ravens will play the Houston Texans on Monday night. The matchup marks the second Monday night football game in Ravens history for head coach John Harbaugh and the second prime-time game for the Ravens this season. During the last one, which was Thursday night football on Oct. 26, quarterback Joe Flacco got a concussion. The team will be heading into Monday's game "full strength," Harbaugh said.

Coming off a shutout win against Green Bay, the Ravens are 5-5. The Houston Texans are 4-6.
