    NBC analysts Tony Dungy, Super Bowl-winning coach of the Indianapolis Colts, and Rodney Harrison, Super Bowl-winning defensive back with the New England Patriots, both praised Derrick Henry.

    “He’s going to bring the mentality,” Dungy said. “(The Ravens) only ran the ball 16 times in the AFC Championship Game. The Ravens can’t do that again and Derrick Henry isn’t going to let them do that.”

    Harrison said the Ravens want to throw the ball as often as possible, but Henry has to be the leader of the running game to sustain drives.

    “He brings size, he brings intimidation,” Harrison said. “They want Lamar to throw and win the MVP; but to win a Super Bowl, you’ve got to put your hands in the dirt and run that football. They can absolutely do that with Derrick Henry.”

    Thunderstorms moved through Kansas City and over Arrowhead Stadium. The game was scheduled to start at 7:20 p.m. CT, but will start at 7:40 p.m. Thursday. The game will be televised on NBC and streamed live on Peacock.
