Ravens' Derrick Henry Ties Walter Payton with 110 Rushing Touchdowns

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry tied NFL legend Walter Payton for fifth place on the all-time career rushing touchdowns list by scoring his 110th rushing touchdown during a game against the Houston Texans. Despite the Ravens struggling with injuries and a poor start to the 2025 season, Henry's historic achievement highlights his ongoing effectiveness and durability, having surpassed other greats like Jim Brown and nearing milestones such as 12,000 rushing yards, a benchmark often linked to Hall of Fame induction. Henry, a five-time Pro Bowler and two-time rushing champion, has maintained high performance even as the Ravens face challenges, including the absence of quarterback Lamar Jackson, who typically helps open running lanes for Henry. While the Ravens are likely to fall to a 1-4 record, Henry's continued excellence underscores his value as a major free agent acquisition and solidifies his place in NFL history. Henry's achievement is notable not only for tying Payton but also for possibly moving higher on the list soon, with Adrian Peterson holding fourth place with 120 rushing touchdowns. Overall, Henry's career trajectory suggests he may eventually be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
