Derrick Henry surpasses 1,000 rushing yards and makes more history

Henry has reached the end zone in all nine games as a Raven and has scored 13 total touchdowns this season. He forced his way into the end zone on both touchdown runs against the Broncos, scoring from seven and six yards out.

Henry is the fourth player since 1990 to score in each of his first nine games of a season. He joins Todd Gurley (first ten games in 2018), Arian Foster (first nine in 2012) and LeSean McCoy (first nine in 2011).

Henry reached 100 rushing yards (106) for the sixth time in his first nine games as a Raven. He said others on the bench told him late in the game to get over that marker, and he replied, “If I get it, I get it.”

Henry gave a speech in the locker room after the game and immediately turned his and the team’s attention to the Cincinnati Bengals, who will come to M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday night.

“We put it behind us and it is what it is,” Henry said. “For me to have the day I had, credit goes to everyone who blocked it. I’m not happy with the way I’m playing and I have to do better in the next game. Any success I have, they deserve the credit.” In my opinion, I’m not particularly happy about the game.
