Several reports have described the Ravens win over the Texans as ugly.
I see it more as a complete win from the offense, defense, and special teams.
Flacco struggled midway with two turnovers in the first half, but picked up his game in the second half with two 50-plus yard passes to Smith and Boldin.
Ray Rice wasn't getting much yardage with only 32 yards at the end of the half, but found new holes in the second completing the game with 101 yards.
The Defense surrendered a 32 yard touchdown from Matt Shaub to Jacoby Jones, but didn't allow the Texans to score more than 14 points, the fewest the Texans have scored since October 2010, despite the team being in the Ravens territory majority of the game.
Billy Cundiff did the most leg work with 5 field goals after both the passing game and running game sustained long drives.
If that's not a sign of a well rounded complete team, then I guess "ugly" will have to do.
Ugh, it was definitely ugly. The offensive play calling was ugly. The defense kept them in it. A couple of big plays and the Texans could have pulled away and backed Flacco into a corner.
