Derrick Henry delivers a record-breaking show on Sunday Night Football

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Buffalo Bills 35-10 on Sunday Night Football, a result that was somewhere between “decisive” and “total blowout.”

Derrick Henry lived up to his nickname “The King” as he ruled over everything that moved on the field at M&T Bank Stadium.

Henry opened the scoring with an 87-yard touchdown run on the Ravens’ first play from scrimmage.

It was the longest run in Ravens franchise history and the second-longest run the Buffalo Bills have ever given up.

It also set the tone for his 199-yard rushing night. Henry reached that mark with 24 carries, averaging an outstanding 8.3 yards per rush. In addition to the traditional standard stats, Henry has also created some impressive next-gen stats.

Derrick Henry reached a speed of 21.29 mph on his 87-yard TD run, marking the fourth-fastest speed by a ball carrier this season and Henry’s eighth-fastest speed since 2018.

Later, Henry added a receiving touchdown, and he was undoubtedly the MVP of Blackout Night, accomplishing it while the entire country watched.

The Ravens ran for 271 yards as a team, an average of exactly eight yards per rush.

The way Baltimore has gotten through the first four games suggests they will continue to lead the NFL in rushing this season.
