Derrick Henry Cracks Top 10 All-Time, Rises to No. 4 in Rushing TDs With First-Half Hat Trick

Baltimore leaned on a run-first plan with Lamar Jackson sidelined to keep its playoff bid alive.

Overview

  • Derrick Henry passed Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett to reach 10th on the NFL’s career rushing list after a first-quarter run against Green Bay.
  • His third rushing score before halftime moved him past Adrian Peterson into fourth all time in rushing touchdowns, with 121 and two behind Marcus Allen.
  • Henry posted 106 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the first half, powering a 27-14 Ravens halftime lead over the Packers.
  • With Tyler Huntley starting at quarterback, Baltimore featured Henry early after criticism of last week’s rotation in a run-heavy approach.
  • Henry’s season includes a seventh 1,000-yard campaign and a fifth season with at least 13 rushing touchdowns, with Eric Dickerson the next yardage target and a division finale at Pittsburgh ahead.
