Justin Houston made a grown-man play on a sack he secured in the first quarter of the Baltimore Ravens’ Wild Card matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. The impressive sack came after a Tyler Huntley interception that gave Cincinnati good enough field position to score on the ensuing drive.
Check out this play by Houston, and notice the strength he shows to stop Joe Burrow dead in his tracks:

While this play will certainly make his season-end highlight reel, the Ravens will need Houston to continue producing in this game as Baltimore fights to advance to the Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs. The team’s players seemed optimistic about their chances of getting a win after taking a loss to the Bengals last weekend.
Without Lamar Jackson to lead their offense, the Ravens will continue to rely on their defense to deliver a clutch performance to push them over the edge in this matchup.
