2) Derrick Henry joins group of legends with another rushing performance of 100-plus yards
Henry was key in the Ravens snapping the Commanders’ four-game winning streak and earning a fourth consecutive win of their own. Henry rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-23 win over Washington.
For Henry, it was the 20th time in his career that he rushed for 100-plus yards and multiple touchdowns (and the second time in six games since joining the Ravens). Henry is the fourth player since 1950 to reach those single-game thresholds at least 20 times, joining Hall of Famers Jim Brown (25), LaDainian Tomlinson (25) and Emmitt Smith (21).
Speaking of LT, Henry became the first player with a rushing touchdown in each of his team’s first six games of the season since Tomlinson in 2005.
The Ravens have rushed for at least 150 yards and a touchdown as a team in all six contests this season. The last team to do that in its first six games of the season: John Madden’s 1971 Raiders.
Sunday also marked the 39th consecutive game that Baltimore has rushed for 100-plus yards, breaking a tie with the 1935-39 Lions for the third-longest streak in NFL history. The all-time record is shared by the 2018-2021 Ravens and 1974-77 Steelers, each with 43-game streaks.
