Derrick Henry, Myles Garrett pass NFL legends with milestone plays

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry and Cleveland Browns edge-rusher Myles Garrett are not only two of the best players in the NFL today, but they are two of the best to play their respective positions in the modern era of the NFL. They continued to cement their claim to that status on Sunday when both players had milestone plays to pass a couple of NFL legends. 

Derrick Henry passes Walter Payton on rushing touchdown list

Henry's touchdown run in the second quarter against the Chicago Bears on Sunday was the 111th touchdown run of his career, moving him into sole possession of fifth place on the all-time NFL list and breaking a tie that he was previously in with Bears Hall of Famer Walter Payton. 

Eventually climbing into the top three is within reach for Henry if he can play another season at a high level. He is now just nine touchdowns behind Adrian Peterson for fourth on the all-time list and 12 behind Marcus Allen for third. 

LaDainian Tomlinson (145) and Emmitt Smith (164) are probably out of reach at this point in Henry's career, but the top three is certainly attainable.
