Texans look to get on track before playoffs after lopsided loss to Ravens

Associated Press  

HOUSTON — The Houston Texans certainly didn’t look like a playoff team in a rout by the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday. Houston hasn’t reached 100 yards rushing in three straight games and four of its past five. The Texans must get their running game going to take some pressure off Stroud, who is working with a thin receiving group with Tank Dell and Stefon Diggs out for the season with knee injuries. It’s the second-most yards Metchie has had in a three-year career where he missed his entire rookie season undergoing cancer treatments.
