Derrick Henry Would Have Won Rushing Title if not Hindered by Poor Coaching Decisions

During the 2025 NFL regular season, Derrick Henry put on yet another outstanding effort, rushing for 1,595 yards and 16 touchdowns on 307 carries. James Cook of the Buffalo Bills won the rushing title with 1,621 yards, barely 26 yards ahead of him. Henry was behind Cook by 152 yards going into Week 18. In a crucial game for Baltimore, Henry gained 112 yards in the first half against the Pittsburgh Steelers, putting the championship within grasp. But as the Ravens' strategy moved away from pounding the run in the second half, his production fell to just 14 yards on just five touches.

Head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Todd Monken were criticized by sports analysts, including Jason Whitlock, for "abusing" or mismanaging Henry by failing to feed him the ball more frequently when he was hot. This criticism echoed broader season-long criticisms of odd play-calling that occasionally sidelined the league's most physical back in favor of passing or rotations. These mistakes, along with the Ravens' devastating season-ending defeat due to a missed field goal, prevented Henry from winning his third career rushing title and demonstrated how coaching decisions in pivotal games may affect individual awards in close contests.

Derrick Henry, affectionately known as "King Henry" by fans and teammates alike, will be celebrated his birthday today on January 4th as Ravens battle the Steelers for the AFC North title. The powerful running back, a dominant force in the NFL, has consistently showcased his incredible talent and work ethic throughout his career. His physical running style, breakaway speed, and ability to shed tackles have made him one of the most exciting players to watch in the league.

Will Derrick Henry Continue to Get the Ball vs Steelers?

[Click here for Derrick Henry posters!]
On December 27, 2025, Baltimore Ravens standout Derrick Henry achieved a new career best with 36 carries in a commanding 41-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers, a performance reminiscent of classic workhorse running backs. The 31-year-old stiff arm legend averaged an outstanding 6.0 yards per attempt, including explosive rushes of 30 and 25 yards, as he stormed to 216 running yards and an incredible four touchdowns, tying his career best in scoring.

In addition to setting an NFL record with his ninth career 200-yard game, Henry's incredible performance moved him up to 10th place on the all-time rushing yards list with 12,892 yards and fourth in rushing touchdowns with 122, overtaking greats like Adrian Peterson and Tony Dorsett. Henry's unrelenting effort kept Baltimore in the AFC North battle when the Ravens' chances of making the playoffs were at stake, demonstrating why, in his tenth season, he remains one of the league's most formidable and resilient backs.

Derrick Henry has obviously proven that he is still capapable of being a workhourse. The Ravens did a great job of protecting Tyler Huntly by feeding Henry and giving him 36 carries. Will the Ravens do the same for Lamar Jackson in this winner take all game against the Pittsburgh Steelers? I hope so but John Harbaugh and Todd Monken have shown a tendency to get away from what is working.

Derrick Henry Highlights versus Packers

Derrick Henry ran wild and rampant on the Green Bay Packers. After facing criticism from fans and media for benching Henry in the 4th quarter the previous week, John Harbaugh and Todd Monken finally let the beast loose. The Green Bay Packers could do nothing to stop this unleashed force of power and defenders were ran over and tossed aside like rag dolls.

Green Bay Packers Pay Homage to King Henry

Derrick Henry ran all over the Green Bay Packers yesterday. It is only right that the Green Bay Packers pay homage to King Henry. Henry put on one of the best performances of his distinguished career in a game the Ravens needed to win to maintain their chances of making the playoffs.

Henry carried the offense on his back when starting quarterback Lamar Jackson was sidelined due to a back injury. He ran for a career-high 36 times for 216 yards, the most ever by a visiting player at historic Lambeau field, and tied his career best with four touchdowns, three of which came in the first half alone to give Baltimore a 27-14 halftime lead.

In a convincing 41-24 victory, the Ravens amassed 307 rushing yards as a team while controlling the clock for over 40 minutes thanks to Henry's unrelenting power and signature stiff arms. This historic performance set an NFL record for Henry's seventh career 200-yard game and further solidified his legacy by surpassing legends in all-time rushing rankings.

Ravens vs Bengals Comments: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

The Good
Despite the final result presenting a bleak image, the Baltimore Ravens exhibited flashes of their characteristic rushing power that saved the game from turning into a full blown shutout. On the team's first possession, hulking workhorse Derrick Henry smashed his way to an 18-yard touchdown, setting an early 7-3 tone and reminding everyone why Baltimore's ground attack is still one of the league's most formidable weapons.

With his own 18-yard touchdown rush in the third quarter, Keaton Mitchell added some lightning to the game as it progressed, momentarily reducing the Bengals' advantage to 19–14 and demonstrating that the Ravens' pool of backs can still produce points when the passing game falters. These moments were more than simply consolation prizes; they demonstrated a strong offensive identity that could have completely changed the course of events on a less dismal night.

The Bad
Under the Thanksgiving Day primetime lights, Lamar Jackson's arm appeared unusually unstable, making what should have been a divisional demolition into a confusing struggle for the Ravens. Jackson only completed 17 of 32 passes for 246 yards with a costly interception. He also missed a number of open receivers and seemed shaken behind an offensive line that has been a concern all season, allowing pressures that forced hurried decisions and stalled drives.

The result was a slow aerial approach that couldn't support the run game, leaving Baltimore overly reliant on the ground when the Bengals responded and loaded the box. This inefficiency not only lost early momentum but also showed deeper schematic weaknesses, as the Ravens managed only 14 points—well below their explosive potential—against a Cincinnati defense that began the game as the league's punching bag.

The Ugly
If the Ravens' performance had a nightmare fuel moment, it was the five turnovers that provided the Bengals ideal real estate and converted a winnable contest into a 32-14 disgrace. Tight end Isaiah Likely's heartbreaking fumble at the goal line, just inches from paydirt after a 43-yard gain, resulted in a touchback that swung halftime momentum, while Jackson suffered the brunt of two fumbles—one stripped at the 6-yard line on a sack, another one came loose after what looked like an attemped pass.

Even while opponents often only scored field goals, Baltimore's negligence gave Cincinnati short fields that were ready for exploitation. Zay Flowers' forced fumble late in the game didn't help the situation at all.  This self-inflicted carnage highlighted a lack of discipline that might haunt the purple faithful far beyond the holiday leftovers. It was the ugliest blemish on a team competing for the AFC North title.

Ravens vs Browns: Browns Get Swept and Bullied By Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are now 5 and 5 and have won 4 games in a row! The Ravens have been taking care of business and beating the teams that they are supposed to beat as of late. The Ravens were supposed to beat up and bully the Browns. The Cleveland Browns have had a crappy organization for decades. The Browns now have a record of 2 and 8 and are one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Derrick Henry rushed for 103 yards and a TD. Mark Andrews had a very nice 35 yard run for a TD score on a play that looked like they were lining up for a tush push but Andrews broke out for a long run instead. The only bright spot for the Browns was a 4 sack performance by Myles Garrett. The final score of 23 to 16 made it look like like a close game but Ravens settled for field goals and struggled on the goal line a couple of times.

Benching Derrick Henry is NOT the Answer

Derrick Henry was barely used in the Ravens vs Chiefs game. Henry ended the game with just 8 carries for 42 yards in the game. Even Justice Hill who had a pretty good game only had 3 carries. It seems as though Monken has no idea of how to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. He blew an AFC Championship to the Chiefs the year before last by not running the ball and didn't run the ball much again this year against them.

I know Derrick Henry has had fumble issues lately but we can't afford to keep him on the bench. The Baltimore Ravens are undefeated when Henry gets 20 or more carries. Now that Lamar Jackson is injured, the Ravens will need to lean on Henry more than ever. Monken has to learn how to use these weapons that he has been blessed with to control the clock and keep opposing quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes off the field.

Derrick Henry: Left Shocked by 2nd 4th Qtr Fumble!

Derrick Henry has 3 fumbles in the first 3 weeks of the 2025 NFL season. To make matters worse, 2 of the 3 fumbles occured in the 4th quarter. Henry's lastest fumble in the Ravens vs Lions game left everyone shocked including Henry.

Derrick Henry looked noticeably shook on the sideline after the fumble. He had the look of shock on his face because he normally doesn't fumble.

Baltimore Ravens Deserved to Lose Against Buffalo Bills

The Ravens vs Bills game was definitelitely the marquee matchup game of week 1 of of the 2025 NFL football season. It lived up to the hype with the Bill overcoming a 40 to 25 deficit in the 4th quarter to win the game 41 to 40. As a Ravens fan, I have to admit that the Ravens deserved to lose the game.

We can point to the Derrick Henry fumble but that is just the low hanging fruit. Henry was having an incredible game until that point. Yes it was a major contributing factor to the lost but it isn't the reasean the the Ravens deserved to lose.

We can point to the fact that our offense got practically no production from the TE position. I was expecting Mark andrews to redeem himself with Likely being out, but that didn't happen. Mark Andrews only had 1 catch for 5 yards, but that isn't the reason Ravens deserved to lose.

The real reason Ravens deserved to lose is because of the defensive collapse. The Ravens had a 40 to 25 lead going into the 4th qtr but started playing horribly on defense. The Ravens defense gave up a whopping 251 passing yards in the 4th quarter alone last night. Anytime your defense gives up 251 yards passing in the 4th quarter you deserve to lose the game period.

Ravens vs Bills: Did Ravens Have a Bad Game Plan in the Snow?

The Baltimore Ravens lost a heartbreaker to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs on Sunday. Apparently the Ravens offense was affected by the cold snowy weather conditions in the game. Mark Andrews had 2 drops and a fumble. Derrick Henry had a drop. Lamar Jackson had an interception and there was a high snap that let to a fumble. All turnovers came on passing plays.

OC Todd Monken tried to pass more than Bills did in the snow. The Bills mainly ran the ball and tush pushed us to death. How do yall feel about Monken's game plan in the snow? Josh Allen ran ball 10 times and Lamar only ran 6 times. Bills RB cook ran ball 17 times and our beast RB Henry only ran 16 times. I personally think we should have ran ball like we did against Steelers. We had no Zay Flowers and the weathe conditions were bad.

Lamar Jackson did play a good 2nd half and we had chance to send game into OT but Mark Andrews dropped the 2 point point conversion pass. Final score: Ravens 25 Bills 27

Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills PREVIEW

It's the playoff showdown the world has been waiting for! The Baltimore Ravens versus Buffalo Bills will be the game of the day. The last time the Ravens faced the Bills they blew them out 35 to 10.

Jon Gruden picked the Bills to win in his analysis in the video below, but I totally disagree. The 2 headed monster attack of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry will be too much for the Bills. I am taking the Ravens to win all the way and to advance to play the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry | Baltimore Ravens

Having Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in the same backfield is like having Superman and the incredible Hulk in the same backfield. Lamar has been flying across the field making defenders miss and making incredible plays as usual. Derrick Henry on the other just runs people over like the Hulk while stiff arming puny defenders along the way.

Lamar Jackson has been putting up numbers better than last year when he won the MVP. The play when he turned a fumbled snap into a TD pass against the Bengals was supernan like.

Derrick Henry is leading the BFL in rushing so far through 6 games. Henry has been a straight up monster and defenders are very afrais of becoming a victim of his powerful stiff arm or getting run over by this Hulk like beast of a player.
