As he stood in the backfield, prepared to take a handoff from a quarterback who came two-tenths of a point shy of a perfect passer rating, Derrick Henry ensured that Baltimore’s running game, too, enjoyed a close-to-flawless form. Turning Monday Night Football’s Oct. 21, 2024 clash into another coronation of sorts, “King Henry” elusively juked his way into the Buccaneers’ second level and beyond for a 81-yard run and a 21.72 MPH speed, his career’s third-fastest mark. The Ravens’ offense, in every facet, proved unguardable in a 41-31 win over Tampa Bay, with Henry’s big-play tendencies encouraging 182 yards on 16 touches, alongside a pair of touchdowns.
