Ravens RB Derrick Henry adds to accolades with 199 rushing yards versus Bills

7) Derrick Henry adds to career accolades despite just missing 200-yard mark

The King started Sunday Night Football off with a bang: a Ravens record 87-yard touchdown run on Baltimore’s first play from scrimmage.

That one run almost matched the Bills’ entire offensive output in the first half (90 total yards).

For Henry, it was the seventh rushing touchdown of 70-plus yards in his career, tying Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson for the most such touchdowns in NFL history.

Since 2017, Henry has four rushing touchdowns of at least 70 yards in primetime games (the rest of the NFL has four of those touchdowns combined in that span).

On the Ravens’ final possession of the game, with a majority of both teams’ starters on the sidelines, Baltimore trotted Henry back out onto the field. The Ravens were up 35-10 and the game was all but over — yet an important milestone was still in reach.

Henry had 196 rushing yards at that point and was looking for his seventh career game going over 200 yards on the ground. That would have been significant, as it would have broken a tie with Adrian Peterson and O.J. Simpson for the most games with 200-plus rushing yards in NFL history.

Henry got two more rushing attempts but fell just one yard short of 200.

Pending a stat correction, Henry lost one rushing yard on that fumble into the end zone. Tough break.
