The Houston Texans trailed the Baltimore Ravens 17-2 at halftime of their Christmas Day game at NRG Stadium. The actual thrill came during halftime when global diva Beyoncé gave a spectacular performance that enthralled supporters in the stadium and viewers across the world via Netflix.
The Houston native made a theatrical entrance, riding a horse and performing her smash song "16 Carriages" off her Grammy-nominated album Cowboy Carter. The medley proceeded with four more tracks, including appearances from pop stars Shaboozey and Post Malone. The audience roared when Beyoncé's daughter, Blue Ivy, joined her onstage for a heartfelt rendition of "Texas Hold 'Em."
While Beyoncé lit up the stadium, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson intended to watch her performance but stayed in the locker room during halftime. Jackson then electrified the field with a remarkable 48-yard touchdown run on Baltimore's first drive of the second half, increasing the Ravens' advantage to 24-2.
Regardless of the Texans' failures on the field, Beyoncé's stunning performance made the event unforgettable for Houston fans. Her star power and theatrics elevated an otherwise forgettable game into a fantastic holiday experience.
