Derrick Henry Nears Historic NFL Rushing Records

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry delivered another strong performance in a 41-10 victory over the Denver Broncos, accumulating 106 rushing yards and two touchdowns, bringing his season total to 1,052 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. Henry's achievements this season have positioned him as the first running back since Jim Brown in 1963 to lead the league in rush attempts, rushing yards, yards per carry, and rushing touchdowns simultaneously. He also reached a personal milestone by scoring his 100th career rushing touchdown, surpassing Barry Sanders and tying with Shaun Alexander and Marshall Faulk for eighth on the all-time list. Henry's consistency is notable as he continues to climb the ranks, having maintained a streak of at least 10 touchdown runs for seven consecutive seasons. Despite his focus on team success over individual accolades, Henry is on pace to become the first player over the age of 30 to post multiple 2,000-yard seasons, with a potential to break the single-season rushing record. Former NFL coach Gregg Williams praised Henry for proving critics wrong and demonstrating his dominance and durability in the league.
