Harbaugh Defends Derrick Henry’s Light Usage, Citing Lack of Snaps in Bengals Loss

Overview

• Henry finished with 10 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown as Baltimore totaled 22 rushes in the 32-14 defeat, with Cincinnati controlling possession 38:46 to 21:14.
• Harbaugh said Baltimore had virtually no second‑quarter opportunities to run after giveaways, noting Henry played just one snap in that quarter.
• The Ravens ran 21 two‑minute plays, which Harbaugh called "way too high" and a key reason the ball didn’t go to Henry late.
• Rasheen Ali led Ravens running backs with 29 snaps in pass protection and third‑down roles, exceeding Henry’s 24 snaps.
• Baltimore’s rushing volume and efficiency have slipped, with 27.5 attempts per game (lowest since 2016) and Henry down to 4.7 yards per carry with fewer 100‑yard games than at this point last year.
