Henry told reporters, including Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, \u201cI\u2019m not happy with the way I played.

Especially since Henry took his season tallies to 11 rushing touchdowns and a league-leading 1,052 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Those beyond-impressive numbers helped Henry improve his standing in the all-time lists. He\u2019s \u201cnow tied for the 3rd-most games with 100 yards rushing and two rushing TDs in NFL history, per @ESPNStatsInfo. This was his 21st such game. The only players who have had more are LaDainian Tomlinson (25) and Jim Brown (25),\u201d according to ESPN\u2019s Jamison Hensley.<\/p>\n<div id=\"584f28225951aa972c53ad551287c888\">\n<div>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Derrick Henry is now tied for the 3rd-most games with 100 yards rushing and two rushing TDs in NFL history, per @ESPNStatsInfo.

They speak to the high standards the Ravens are setting this season. Standards need to be high for a team with Super Bowl or bust expectations, but Henry and Co. could push the never satisfied line too far.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, Henry\u2019s surprise reaction, along with other comments, show the team-first ethic is real among this season\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n<h2>Derrick Henry Joining Game\u2019s Greats After Dismantling Broncos<\/h2>\n<p>A third rushing crown is firmly within Henry\u2019s sights, but he\u2019s not satisfied merely with numbers isolated to this season. Instead, the 30-year-old is courting greatness and striving for perfection.<\/p>\n<p>Greatness can be measured by Henry keeping company with some of the NFL\u2019s iconic running backs. He\u2019s now surpassed Detroit Lions legend Barry Sanders, arguably the most exciting, artful runner ever to play, for rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Again, Henry\u2019s response to his latest landmark achievement was typically humble. He simply said, \u201cGod has been tremendously good,\u201d per Ravens Vault co-host Sarah Ellison.<\/p>\n<div id=\"044a5589dde8f714a1d49f049d67cf92\">\n<div>\n<article>Derrick Henry on passing Barry Sanders on the all-time rushing TD list: \u201cGod has been tremendously good.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Henry might be content to remain low-key about his production this season, but head coach John Harbaugh is a little more enthusiastic. Harbaugh considers Henry a unique player during his lengthy tenure.<\/p>\n<p>The man who\u2019s been patrolling a sideline for the Ravens since 2008, called Henry, \u201cdifferent. He\u2019s adding a dimension we have not had before. I don\u2019t know, you can go back to Jamal Lewis, maybe.\u201d per Hensley.<\/p>\n<div id=\"92d6c3ecd3fbc881f3a3e92e9d22ab70\">\n<div>\n<article>John Harbaugh: \u201cDerrick Henry is different. He\u2019s adding a dimension that we haven\u2019t had before.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Comparison with Lewis is apt considering the man who rushed for 2,066 yards for the Ravens in 2003 was also a brute-force runner with a true nose for the end zone. Lewis also has something Henry lacks, namely, a Super Bowl ring.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s what this Ravens team wants above any statistical prize or personal accolades.<\/p>\n<h2>Ravens Staying Focused on Super Bowl Standard<\/h2>\n<p>The Ravens know they\u2019re playing special football this season, but they\u2019ll also be aware they were doing the same in 2023. Quarterback Lamar Jackson won a second league-wide MVP award, while the defense led the NFL in sacks, turnovers and points.<\/p>\n<p>None of that mattered once the Kansas City Chiefs left M&amp;T Bank Stadium with a 17-10 win in the AFC Championship Game. The sting of that defeat explains why star players are downplaying their dominance in the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>This modesty can be good for team chemistry. Henry put team first, albeit in a slightly downbeat way, when he gave \u201ccredit to the guys who are blocking and making my job easier,\u201d per Zrebiec.<\/p>\n<div id=\"4583abfd296c13b0321fc83f7bfce5eb\">\n<div>\n<article>Derrick Henry: \u201cI give the credit to the guys who are blocking and making my job easier.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Henry was brought in to put the Ravens over the top. Things are going to plan, but championship hopes can fade in an instant, so Henry, Jackson and Harbaugh are smart to keep setting the bar high.<\/p>\n<p>The only drawback is a team not enjoying the ride. Or worse still, the Ravens being too tight and tense when the pressure is on in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>A 6-3 team with a juggernaut of an offense and seemingly setting records every week, ought to at least be able to enjoy their accomplishments on occasion.<\/p>\n<p>James Dudko covers the New York Giants, Washington Commanders, New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens for Heavy.com.
