Harbaugh will be looking for perfection in Houston on Sunday, or at least something close.
After squeezing past struggling Jacksonville 20-12 on Sunday,wholesale nfl jerseys, Baltimore (9-5) moved into the AFC's second wild-card slot and remained tied with Pittsburgh in the AFC North, a half-game behind Cincinnati (8-4-1).

"We didn't play as well as we hoped or as we planned for," Harbaugh acknowledged. "We anticipated a tough game. Anybody that would anticipate a blowout in this league is a fool."
The Ravens won the game but lost two more defensive backs. Cornerback Asa Jackson and safety Terrence Brooks sustained season-ending knee injuries and will soon will join cornerbacks Jimmy Smith, Danny Gorrer, Aaron Ross and Tramain Jacobs on injured reserve.
Harbaugh is concerned only about Baltimore, and he isn't taking anything for granted — even though Houston (7-7) will likely start either Thaddeus Lewis or Case Keenum at quarterback. Lewis joined the team last month and Keenum was signed Monday after being cut in the preseason.
Even better for the Ravens: Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are looking at a potentially rough home stretch. The Steelers (9-5) host Kansas City (8-6) on Sunday and Cincinnati takes on Denver (11-3). Then, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh square off in the season finale Dec. 28.
There's also something to be said for a team that wins when it doesn't play particularly well. Baltimore's offense produced only one touchdown and trailed at halftime before rallying past the Jaguars.

Last time we were here,Wholesale MLB Jerseys, we let one get away from us, and we couldn't close it out.
