Derrick Henry made it 100% clear: He’s still got it.
The Baltimore Ravens running back was absolutely remarkable Sunday, rushing for a whopping 199 yards and scoring a couple of touchdowns while at it — one in the rushing game, with the other being on the receiving end. The performance led the Ravens to a dominant 35-10 win over the undefeated Buffalo Bills, and on top of that, he made franchise history.
Superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore offense was placed at their own 13-yard line after Buffalo was forced to punt the ball away, and this came on their first drive of the contest.

Well, on the Ravens‘ first drive and on their very first snap, Jackson gave the ball to Henry and my man shot through a hole that was on the line’s right side. Courtesy of an immaculate block from his teammate and fullback Patrick Ricard, Henry saw nothing but the end zone and that’s exactly where he went.
And Henry didn’t just give Baltimore an early 7-0 lead, but he also made Ravens franchise history by putting up the longest run ever at 87 yards.

It’s crazy to me that people actually thought this guy was going to fall off, and here we are in Week 4 of the season where the dude is now making history while he was already leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns … fell off?!
HA! Derrick Henry shut his doubters the hell up while solidifying himself as still one of the best players in the National Football League. All hail, “King Henry.”
