In his first season with the Ravens, Henry entered the day as the NFL's active leader in rushing attempts (2,110), rushing yards (9,982) and rushing touchdowns (95).

"I've been blessed tremendously, and I'm very thankful to be able to be able to play this long and be able to reach a milestone that big. "All the great ones before me that I idolized -- they achieved that accomplishment, so for me to be doing something that the ones that I've idolized have done is so cool." He's also the first Raven with a rushing touchdown in his first five games, according to the team. The longtime Tennessee Titan punctuated his memorable day with a huge run during overtime. After Cincinnati's Evan McPherson missed a 53-yard field goal to clinch the game, Henry ran 51 yards up the left sideline to the Bengals' 6-yard line, and Baltimore sent Justin Tucker on to kick the 24-yard game-winning field goal. Henry finished the day with 92 rushing yards on 15 carries. For his career, Henry has played 124 games (93 starts) for the Titans (2016-23) and Ravens. The Titans picked him in the second round in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Alabama. Henry has been selected to four Pro Bowls and was the 2020 NFL Offensive Player of the Year. Sunday was a big day for career milestones, as Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers surpassed 60,000 career passing yards in New York's 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Rodgers, 40, entered the day with 59,904 career passing yards, and he also was the league's active leader with 5,083 completions, 7,789 attempts and 480 TDs. He added to those numbers on Sunday by going 29 for 54 for 244 yards and two touchdowns as well as three interceptions in becoming the ninth QB in NFL history to throw for 60,000 career passing yards.
