Derrick Henrys Latest Ravens Statement Says Plenty About His Legacy

Despite a tough loss to the Bills, Derrick Henry's historic touchdown places him among NFL greats in more ways than one.

Derrick Henry added another line to his already crowded résumé Sunday, and this one put him in a rare corner of NFL history.

The Ravens running back scored Baltimore’s only touchdown in a 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills, reaching his 40th rushing touchdown with the franchise. That milestone moved Henry into an exclusive group with Marshall Faulk and Marcus Allen, according to ESPN Insights.

“Derrick Henry joins Hall-of-Famers Marcus Allen and Marshall Faulk as the only players in NFL history with 40+ Rush TD with 2 different franchises. 👑 Henry now has 136 career TD, tied with Marshall Faulk for 7th most in NFL history,” the post read.

For Baltimore, though, Henry’s score was just about the only thing that went right. The Ravens were battered by injuries and never found enough offense to keep pace on the road in Buffalo.

Lamar Jackson left with a concussion that might be at risk of ending his season, and Tyler Huntley also went down. That pushed third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano into action, and Buffalo took control from there.

Fagnano had a rough afternoon against the Bills’ defense, taking three sacks while completing 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards and an interception.

Henry did his part in the ground game, finishing with 11 carries for 53 yards and the touchdown. He also added two catches for seven yards. Rashod Bateman hauled in a 22-yard reception, and Justice Hill finished with four catches for 20 yards.

The Ravens now turn the page to a home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. Kickoff is set for Nov. 5 at 8:15 p.m. ET.

Ravens Suddenly Face A Trade Deadline Baltimore Fans Never Expected

The Ravens Week 8 loss left them staring at a trade deadline that looks a lot different than anyone in Baltimore probably expected a few weeks ago. With Lamar Jackson sidelined, the front office has to weigh whether this is a spot to stay patient, add help, or at least protect the roster for the stretch ahead, all while trying to keep the season from slipping further off course.

There is already speculation that Baltimore could explore the quarterback market, but the bigger question may be whether the team is willing to move veteran pieces if the right offers come along. Even with that possibility hanging over the next few days, this does not look like a franchise preparing for a teardown - the Ravens still appear focused on staying competitive and giving themselves a chance to contend in the seasons ahead.

Lamar Jackson Just Became The Ravens Biggest Offseason Decision

Lamar Jacksons latest injury has pushed an already complicated situation into the foreground for Baltimore, with the quarterback on injured reserve because of a right hand issue and a real possibility he does not play again this season. Even beyond the immediate concern of getting him healthy, the Ravens are now staring at the larger question that has hovered around their franchise player for months: how to handle a contract that is still in its middle years but already shaping the teams long-term planning.

Jackson is in the fourth year of a five-year deal, and the Ravens know the next move is not simple. Owner Steve Bisciotti has made clear he hopes an extension can still be worked out, but negotiations have not been easy, and the team has to weigh every path if a new agreement never comes together. For Baltimore, this is no longer just about one injured season. It is about whether the Ravens can keep their quarterback situation stable, or whether the biggest decision of the offseason becomes the one they never wanted to make. [Read more 🡒]

Ravens Suddenly Face A QB Depth Problem At The Worst Time

The Ravens added another arm to the mix this week, signing quarterback Austin Reed to the practice squad ahead of their Week 9 matchup with the Jaguars. It is the kind of move teams make when they need a little more insurance at the most important position, especially with injury concerns already hanging over the quarterback room.

Reeds arrival also brings a familiar face into the building for offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, which can matter when the clock is ticking toward game day. If Joe Fagnano is not available, Baltimore may need Reed to step into the backup role, turning a routine roster move into a potentially important piece of the plan. [Read more 🡒]
