Derrick Henry Chases History: Ravens’ Star Aims for Franchise Glory in High-Stakes Finale

The Baltimore Ravens’ star running back is poised to make history in their final regular season game. At 31 years old, Derrick Henry continues to defy age and expectations with a standout debut season in Baltimore. Heading into their pivotal matchup against the Cleveland Browns, Henry has amassed an astonishing 1,783 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns, showcasing his unparalleled talent and determination.

This game carries enormous significance. A victory secures the Ravens a second consecutive AFC North title and locks them into the AFC’s third seed for the playoffs. But the stakes are even higher for Henry on a personal level. He currently shares the franchise record for most rushing touchdowns in a single season with Ravens legend Jamal Lewis. One more touchdown, and the record will belong to Henry outright.

Already the franchise leader in total touchdowns for a season, with 16 (14 rushing and two receiving), Henry is cementing his legacy in Baltimore. Off the field, his presence is equally striking. On Saturday, the day of his 31st birthday, Henry arrived in Cleveland donning an all-black ensemble that exuded confidence and flair—a reflection of the poise he brings to the game.

For Henry and the Ravens, this game is about more than records; it’s about defining a season and solidifying their place among the NFL elite.
