The Ravens have fielded a top-three rushing operation in every season since Lamar Jackson was drafted in 2018, finishing No. 1 in the NFL three times (2019, 2020 and 2023). Through five games this season, Baltimore again holds that honor as the only team rushing for more than 200 yards per contest. Jackson and his new backfield mate, King Henry, are the perfect thunder-and-lightning combination. The two-time MVP keeps defenses on their heels with his quickness and speed and is an ankle-breaker in the open field. While Jackson runs around defenders, Henry, a two-time league rushing champion, runs through them. The 247-pound freight train has forced 30 missed tackles on runs this season and racked up 29 first downs, both second-most in the NFL, per Next Gen Stats. Both Henry and Jackson rank in the top 10 in rushing yards this season; the running back leads the league with 572, while the quarterback ranks eighth with 363.
Baltimore has rushed for at least 100 yards in 38 straight games, tied for the third-longest streak all time. The 2018-2021 Ravens and 1974-77 Steelers share the record at 43 games. If these Ravens keep the streak going, they will tie the record against the Bengals in Week 10 and break it Week 11 against … you guessed it, the Steelers.
