While Week 11 likely won't like up to the intensity of Week 10, at least one game will have major playoff implications. The 6-3 Houston Texans travel to M&T Bank Stadium to take on the 7-2 Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. It's a matchup between AFC divisional leaders. With a win, the Texans would capture the second seed in the AFC.

After losing two of their first four games, Baltimore has strung together five consecutive wins. Lamar Jackson's MVP play and the addition of Marcus Peters on the defensive side of the ball have spurred this run. Now, even against Deshaun Watson and the Texans, the Ravens have several advantages.

4. Defense forces multiple interceptions

The Ravens have eight interceptions this season. That total in itself isn't impressive, but Baltimore has plenty of threatening players in their secondary. Earl Thomas hasn't had his best season, but he's always one of the best players on the field. Marlon Humphrey has developed nicely, and Peters has been an immediate contributor.

Watson has thrown multiple interceptions in two games this season. Both instances came against teams with inferior pass defenses when compared to Baltimore. Watson is an MVP candidate, and he won't give up turnovers easily. However, the Ravens have plenty of defensive pieces that can create opportunities for Baltimore's offense.

3. Lamar Jackson is electric

Perhaps the best running quarterback since Michael Vick, Jackson has found ways to win games in his young career. As a rookie, he went 6-1 as a starter. Now, displaying improved accuracy and decision making, he has Baltimore in place for the second seed in the AFC.

When Jackson is on a roll, countering him is almost impossible. Without their premier pass rusher, J.J. Watt, the Texans will have an even harder time containing Jackson. The only way Houston has a chance of slowing the second-year quarterback down is if they take away the run game and make him one dimensional. That's easier said than done, though.

2. Defensive scoring capability

Baltimore has five defensive touchdowns this season. Peters, who has only played three games with the team, already has two pick-sixes. During that same three-game span, Humphrey has two fumbles returned for touchdowns. Tyus Bowser also scored on a fumble return in Week 10.

With their defense playing at such a high level recently, the Ravens have gained a lot of momentum. While the Texans do a good job protecting the football, Baltimore is relentless and crafty. When the team needs a big play, the defense will deliver.

1. The NFL's most dominant run game

The Ravens are second in total offensive yards per game, averaging 421.7 this season. However, the passing game only accounts for 224.4 of those yards. The remaining 197.2 yards come from the running game.

Baltimore easily has the best running game in the NFL this year. The San Francisco 49ers are in second place with 161.8 rushing yards per game. That's over 30 yards behind Baltimore.

The Ravens unconventionally reached their high rushing mark. Yes, the team still embraces the ground-and-pound style of attack with Mark Ingram, but the former Pro Bowler isn't the team's leading rusher. While Ingram averages 68.8 rushing yards per game, Jackson averages 78.0 rushing yards per game. At his current pace, Jackson will surpass Vick's 1,039 rushing yards from 2006.

Baltimore's ground game won't go unchallenged though. The Texans have the third-best run defense in the league, allowing just 84.1 rushing yards per game.
