Lamar Jackson is perfect again while Jared Goff continues to be red hot

2) Ravens’ big win leads to more history for Derrick Henry

Unsurprisingly, Lamar Jackson wasn’t the only Raven to make history on Sunday, considering Baltimore won by a whopping 31 points.

Henry, the NFL’s leading rusher, scored another 106 yards and two touchdowns as the Ravens defeated Sean Payton’s Broncos 41-10. It was the 21st time in Henry’s career that he ran for at least 100 yards and scored two scores, tying him with Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith for the third-most such games in league history. For most games with 100 rushing yards and two touchdowns, Henry trails only Hall of Famers Jim Brown and LaDainian Tomlinson (25 games each).

Henry also scored his 100th and 101st career rushing touchdowns in his 128th career game. Adrian Peterson has the fifth-fewest games played of all time in which he reached 100 career rushing touchdowns, behind Tomlinson (93), Smith (99), Brown (113) and Shaun Alexander (119).

While his 11 rushing touchdowns lead the NFL, they also mark the seventh consecutive season in Henry’s career in which he has eclipsed double-digit rushing touchdowns. The only other players in NFL history with double-digit rushing touchdowns in seven consecutive seasons are Tomlinson (2001-2009) and Peterson (2007-2013).
