His level of play, paired with\u00a0Lamar Jackson\u2019s MVP performances, have been the fuel to the Ravens turning around their season. Henry was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week twice so far this season, once against the\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0and again against the\u00a0Washington Commanders. He also had the 51-yard run against the\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0to set up the game-winning field goal.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\" data-zone-count=\"2\"><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Safe to say he\u2019s been critical to Baltimore\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p>Henry won the award in 2020, where he rushed 378 times for 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns, all leading the league. Henry is well on track to replicate and even surpass those numbers. However, head coach John Harbaugh says he may limit Henry&#8217;s attempts going forward.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I also feel like over the course of the season, it&#8217;s going to be okay if [his attempts aren&#8217;t] 19 or 25,&#8221; Harbaugh said. &#8220;When it&#8217;s 10 or 12, that&#8217;s okay too. That&#8217;s one thing about Derrick, you&#8217;ll never hear him concern himself with that. He wants it, there&#8217;s no doubt about it. But he wants it because it helps us win, and that&#8217;s all he ever talks about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\" data-zone-count=\"2\"><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Still, Henry is ahead of the competition in comparison to his peers.
