Running back Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens have proven to be the NFL’s top rushing attack through the first ten weeks of the 2024 season.
Although Henry and quarterback Lamar Jackson did not exactly light up the stat sheets on Thursday night, Baltimore advanced to 7-3 on the season with a 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Henry took 16 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown, extending his league-leading totals to 1,120 rushing yards and 12 scores on the ground.
Two weeks ago, heading into Week 8, there were 23 teams with fewer total yards on the ground than Henry, as highlighted by a social media post at the time by ESPN. That same graphic was re-shared by Henry’s girlfriend, Adrianna Rivas, on Friday morning via Instagram Stories.

This is nothing new for the veteran ball carrier, now in his ninth season out of Alabama. He’s led the league in both rushing and scoring touchdowns twice (2019 and 2020), and is on pace to do again. Assuming he stays healthy, Henry is on pace for 1,904 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns.
Henry will add more to his rushing totals after taking a well-deserved long rest. Henry and the Ravens’ next game will be played on Nov. 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
