2) Ravens’ big win leads to more history for Derrick Henry
Unsurprisingly, considering Baltimore won by a whopping 31 points, Lamar Jackson wasn’t the only Raven making history on Sunday.
Henry, the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, rushed for another 106 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens’ 41-10 dismantling of Sean Payton’s Broncos. For Henry, it was the 21st time in his career he rushed for at least 100 yards and scored twice, tying Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith for the third-most games in league history. Henry trails only Hall of Famers Jim Brown and LaDainian Tomlinson (each with 25 games) for most 100-yard games and two TDs.
Henry also recorded his 100th and 101st career rushing touchdowns while playing in his 128th career game. This ties Adrian Peterson for the fifth-fewest number of games played to reach 100 rushing games of all time, behind Tomlinson (93), Smith (99), Brown (113) and Shaun Alexander (119).
While his 11 rushing touchdowns lead the NFL, it also marks the seventh straight season of Henry’s career in which he has surpassed double-digit rushing touchdowns. The only other players in NFL history to have double-digit rushing touchdowns in seven straight seasons are Tomlinson (2001-09) and Peterson (2007-13).
