In an electrifying season for the Baltimore Ravens, running back Derrick Henry is turning heads and making waves in the NFL. Through seven games, Henry has already accumulated a league-high 873 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground, averaging an impressive 124.7 rushing yards per contest. His recent performances have been nothing short of spectacular, with four out of the last five weeks seeing him rush for over 132 yards, including a standout 169-yard showing in the Ravens’ recent 41-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The buzz around Henry is reaching a fever pitch as he inches closer to potentially etching his name in the NFL history books. With a shot at surpassing the all-time single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards set by Eric Dickerson in 1984, Henry’s determination and skill on the field have put him in a prime position to make a run for the record.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is a believer in Henry’s ability to make history, expressing his confidence in a recent press conference. “Yeah, I feel like he has a great chance of achieving that,” Jackson remarked. “I believe he can do it.”
One of the key factors in Henry’s favor is the expanded 17-game regular season, giving him one extra opportunity to chase down Dickerson’s longstanding record. The pressure is on for Henry to maintain his stellar performance and stay healthy as he vies to etch his name in NFL lore alongside the legendary Dickerson. Can Henry make history? The stage is set, the spotlight is on, and the football world is watching with bated breath as this exciting season unfolds.
