Derrick Henry, the Ravens’ running back, had another standout performance on Monday night, rushing for 169 yards on just 15 carries. His dominant showing continues a stellar season where he’s consistently delivering big plays. Henry’s explosive production has put him on track to achieve a historic feat in the NFL, drawing attention to his potential to break records as he remains a key player for the Ravens.
With 873 rushing yards through seven games, Henry is currently on pace to finish the season with 2,120 yards over 17 games. This would surpass Eric Dickerson’s long-standing NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984 over a 16-game season. Henry’s consistency and ability to break long runs position him as a serious contender to achieve this milestone by season’s end.
Henry also has the chance to make NFL history by becoming the first player ever to have two 2,000-yard rushing seasons. He previously accomplished this rare feat in 2020 when he rushed for 2,027 yards while playing for the Tennessee Titans. Achieving this again would further solidify his status among the all-time great running backs.
At 31 years old, an age when many running backs begin to decline, Henry is defying expectations. After showing signs of slowing down last season, he’s returned to peak form, demonstrating that he remains a dominant force in the league. The Ravens are highly satisfied with their decision to sign Henry as a high-profile free agent, as he continues to excel on the field.
