Losers: Baltimore Ravens

They had a chance to win the division and now they have to hope they can beat Cleveland while the Kansas City Chiefs beat San Diego.

So hope isn’t all gone, but it’s tattered and hanging on by a thread.

The Houston Texans shut down the run game and Joe Flacco, after looking solid the last four games, threw three picks. He also managed just 27 yards in the first half (with the first two of his three interceptions), so clearly he had a much better second half, ending up with 195 yards, a pair of touchdowns and three interceptions.

The Browns have some issues (most notably that whether it’s Johnny Manziel or Brian Hoyer, the quarterback situation is shaky) but they will come to play and help Baltimore miss the playoffs.

They needed a win Sunday and losing to Houston has made their chances of making the playoffs next to nil.
