Mink: This is not a query, however let’s get into it anyway. Derrick Henry is 217 speeding yards away from 2,000 this season. He would grow to be the primary participant in NFL historical past to ever file two 2,000-yard seasons. Saquon Barkley has executed it this season, as he sits at 2,005 speeding yards.
Henry has had some monster video games this season, however he hasn’t hit 200 yards in any but. His season excessive was 199 yards in Week 4 in opposition to the Buffalo Bills.
Is it unimaginable? No. Unlikely? Yes. Henry has rushed for greater than 217 speeding yards thrice in his profession and most not too long ago in 2022. He had 250 speeding yards within the regular-season finale in opposition to Houston within the 2020 season.
What Henry would want is a really future (or two) in opposition to the Browns. Henry was bottled up with simply 11 carries for 73 yards within the groups’ Week 8 assembly this season. Cleveland’s run protection ranks nineteenth within the league and is an aggressive, downhill attacking unit. If the Ravens crack the Browns’ first line of protection, Henry could possibly be off to the races.
While setting data is nice and enjoyable, Henry and the Ravens care most about getting a win and ending the common season wholesome and prepared for the playoffs. They aren’t going to pump their workhorse operating again only for the sake of attempting to get him to 2,000. The Ravens need Henry as robust as doable going into the postseason.
