The Baltimore Ravens have been one of the top teams in the league so far in 2024. A big reason for this is their unstoppable rushing attack led by quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry. Henry was added to the team’s roster this past offseason to complement the rushing attack with Jackson, and he has not disappointed so far. Going into Week Nine, Henry has now accomplished something that no other NFL player has done.
Derrick Henry Milestone
Henry has now become the first player in NFL history to record a touchdown in each of his first eight games with a team. The star running back has cemented himself as one of the top running backs to ever play the game, and he is showing why that is this season.

Baltimore Ravens Rushing Attack
Henry has amounted to 946 rushing yards and nine touchdowns so far this season, making him one of if not the top running back in the league right now. The superstar has consistently put up big numbers every season of his career, and even rushed for over 2,000 yards in 2020 with the Tennessee Titans.
Alongside him, the mobile Jackson has over 500 yards rushing with two rushing touchdowns in 2024, serving as a great compliment to Henry. Jackson has been the top rushing quarterback in the league since being drafted in 2018, and the team went out and got Henry this offseason to make their rushing attack unstoppable.
How many yards on the ground do you think Henry and Jackson will combine for by the end of the regular season?
