He’s already at 1,052 rushing yards … with nine games to go. That’s right, he’s on pace to become the first running back ever to rush for at least 2,000 yards twice. Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, et al., eat your respective hearts out.

Nobody in the last decade plays quite like Derrick Henry. A singular-focused, three-down back who relishes contact and picking up yards the hard way. He’s not a dual-threat, he’s not one for gadget plays. Henry will take the ball, outrun a defense, and if someone is unfortunate enough to get in his way they’re about to have a bad time.

But as Henry told CBS’s Tracy Wolfson after the Ravens’ 41-10 win over the Denver Broncos, he actually thinks Jackson deserves 2024 MVP honors over him. That’s a special running back and an even better teammate right there, folks:

The partnership between Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry has turned an already impressive offense into an overpowering one in Baltimore.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to establish himself as one of the best players in franchise history. In Week 9's matchup against the Denver Broncos, Jackson set a new record by becoming the first Raven to post at least 275 passing yards in five consecutive games.
