NFL Makes Derrick Henry Announcement Following Bills-Ravens Game

For the first time this season, the Baltimore Ravens truly looked like themselves for a full four quarters on both sides of the ball, dismantling the Buffalo Bills 35-10 on “ Sunday Night Football ”.

Defensively, they disrupted everything Bills quarterback Josh Allen attempted, while offensively, they were unstoppable on the ground, particularly thanks to running back Derrick Henry . After bursting through for an 87-yard touchdown on the very first play of the Ravens' opening drive, Henry never looked back.

He finished the game with 24 carries for 199 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, and three receptions for 10 yards and a receiving touchdown. His performance was dominant from start to finish, earning him recognition from the NFL .

Henry was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week, a title he has claimed multiple times throughout his career.

Despite being 30 years old and in his ninth season with 2,110 career carries, Derrick Henry shows no signs of slowing down. So far this season, he has rushed 80 times for 480 yards (leading the NFL) and five touchdowns (tied for the NFL lead), averaging an impressive 6.0 yards per carry.

Henry may be the missing piece the Ravens have been seeking to elevate their Super Bowl aspirations, having been on the verge of success in recent seasons.
