Hit it, he did. The 247-pound back shot through the open hole, reaching a maximum speed of 21.29 mph, according to Next Gen Stats, and ran away from Bill’s defensive backs.

The score on the first game was a statement of how the game would go. Henry galloped for 199 rushing yards and the score on 24 carries, while adding three catches for 10 yards and another TD – his first receiving score since 2019.

Sunday was Henry’s seventh career game with more than 190 rush yards, tied for third since 1950 (behind only Eric Dickerson and Adrian Peters, tied with 8).

“If today doesn’t show that I’m used to it (and) that I’m comfortable, then I don’t know what else to say,” Henry said of his attack on the Ravens offense. “It was fun. We didn’t start the way we wanted to, but like I said to those guys, this is why I came here, because of the culture. We have our backs against the wall (at) 0-2 , (but ) we just kept believing; we kept fighting, and now we’re back where we want to be, and let’s build on this in all three phases.

In Week 1, Henry generated 46 yards and a score on 13 carries against Kansas City. He has been climbing ever since. In Week 2, he passed for 84 yards and a touchdown. Last week against Dallas he fired for 151 and two touchdowns.

Henry’s presence in the backfield makes life difficult for defenders. According to Next Generation Stats, all of Henry’s 199 rush yards had seven or fewer defenders in the box (three rushes for 0 yards against a stacked box).

That fact highlights the versatility of Baltimore’s offense. If the defense brings extra tacklers into the box, Jackson can move elsewhere. If they play light, the Ravens can ram it down their throats with a 250-pound sledgehammer.

“Man, Derrick Henry, he opens the play-action,” Jackson said. “Guys running to the ball try to keep him from starting in the backfield, and our offensive line has done a great job of giving Derrick lanes. Our receivers have also done a great job of blocking downfield and letting Derrick get his way let go.” Shoutout to the tight ends too.”

The Ravens racked up 427 total yards on Sunday night and smoked a previously 3-0 Bills club. With a versatile offense and a defense that moves in the right direction even at 2-2, John Harbaugh’s club is among the most dangerous in the AFC.
