Derrick Henry, welcome to the Baltimore Ravens record books

The Ravens’ star running back set a new team record with an 87-yard touchdown run on Baltimore’s first play from scrimmage in the first quarter against the Buffalo Bills. It was the longest streak in franchise history.

At the end of the first quarter against the Bills, Henry had four carries for 95 yards and the result:

Despite his massive stature, Henry is no stranger to explosive plays. During his time with the Tennessee Titans, some of his longest runs included gains of 69, 74, 75, 76 and 94 yards, but the highlight of his career was arguably the 99-yard touchdown run he ran during the 2018 season against the Jacksonville graduated from Jaguars.

Before the game against Buffalo, Henry had caught 56 ​​carries for 281 yards and four touchdowns in his first three games as a Raven. In Week 3, he pounded the Dallas Cowboys’ defense with 25 carries for 151 yards and two scores, highlighted by a 26-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Baltimore was able to hold on to its 28:25 win.

Bills linebacker Von Miller said in the days leading up to the game that Henry, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ offense was “scary,” and fans quickly saw why on Sunday Night Football.

“I remember watching the very first game when they played the Kansas City Chiefs on that first drive. It just looked scary,” Miller said on the Bills’ website. “It just looks scary with the type of offensive line they have, and.” There’s Derrick Henry back there, and Lamar Jackson is always a threat to take the ball and run it. And I think on that very first drive with the Chiefs they made six or seven plays, all runs, and it went straight down. And I remember watching the game on TV and thinking, “This is going to be a problem.” “And that was it.”
