Derrick Henry Moves Into Top Three in NFL Rushing Touchdowns

His two rushing scores in Rio reflect heavy goal-line usage that puts bigger career marks in reach if he stays healthy.

Overview

  • Henry ran 26 times for 89 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns in the Baltimore Ravens’ 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.
  • Citing ESPN’s Adam Schefter, those two scores raised Henry’s combined regular-season and postseason rushing touchdown total to 135, moving him past Marcus Allen into third all-time.
  • Henry’s 89 yards in the game also moved him past Eric Dickerson into ninth on the NFL’s career rushing yards list with about 13,319 yards.
  • Through three games in 2026, Henry has 301 rushing yards on 66 carries with six rushing touchdowns, highlighting his central scoring role for a Ravens offense coping with offensive-line injuries.
  • If Henry maintains his current pace and health he could challenge LaDainian Tomlinson’s 151 rushing touchdowns and, more distantly, Emmitt Smith’s 183, while Baltimore’s reliance on his goal-line work raises durability and workload questions for the team.
