In a thrilling AFC Divisional Round game on Saturday, the Baltimore Ravens overcame a slow start to defeat the Houston Texans with an impressive 34-10 victory. The game was far from easy for the Ravens, who found themselves tied with the Texans at halftime.

Despite being double-digit favorites, the Ravens faced a determined Texans team that held them to a 10-10 tie going into the second half. Sensing the urgency, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson took charge and delivered a motivating speech to rally his team.

During a post-game interview, Jackson revealed that he was the one who did the talking at halftime. He passionately pounded his chest to inspire his No. 1-seeded team to step up their performance in the crucial third quarter. Jackson admitted that his halftime speech included some colorful language, stating, "A lot of cursing at halftime... It'd be inappropriate if I said it right here."

The Ravens acknowledged that the Texans' defense played exceptionally well in the first half, stifling their offensive efforts. However, Jackson emphasized the need for their unit to step up and put points on the board. The Ravens responded positively to Jackson's words, finding their rhythm and showcasing their dominant form in the second half.

Led by Jackson's outstanding performance, the Ravens unleashed an offensive onslaught, outscoring the upstart Texans with 24 unanswered points in the second half. Jackson completed 16 of 22 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns, while also contributing 100 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. His four touchdowns were solely responsible for securing the Ravens' victory.

With their win over the Texans, the Ravens now eagerly await the outcome of Sunday's showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. The Ravens will host the winner of that game in the highly anticipated AFC Championship game next weekend. This will mark the Ravens' first appearance in the AFC Championship game since their Super Bowl-winning season in 2013.

The Ravens have a strong track record in AFC title games, being 2-2 all-time. Both times they emerged victorious in the AFC Championship, they went on to claim the ultimate prize by winning the Super Bowl.

The Ravens enter the AFC Championship game brimming with confidence, thanks to Lamar Jackson's inspiring words and their dominant second-half performance against the Texans. As the Ravens march forward in their quest for another Super Bowl victory, their opponents in the upcoming AFC Championship game will undoubtedly face a formidable challenge.
