Derrick Henry's monster game moves him up on multiple all-time lists 

Derrick Henry gashed the Green Bay Packers so much on Saturday night that he moved up multiple all-time lists while carrying the Baltimore Ravens to their biggest win of the season. 

Henry, 31, ran for 216 yards and scored four touchdowns against Green Bay, putting Baltimore on his back as they won 41-24. Henry's monster performance also took the pressure off Tyler Huntley, who was cast into starting under center with Lamar Jackson out with a back injury. 

But Henry's night was far from only a big deal because of his single-game production, which approached his career-high of 238 yards from a 2018 game with Tennessee; it also helped solidify his place as an all-time great. 

Derrick Henry moved past one legend and sits right behind another  

Henry now has the fourth most rushing touchdowns in NFL history with 122, moving past Adrian Peterson and sitting behind Marcus Allen. Henry moved ahead of Peterson with his third touchdown of the game, all scored in the first half, and then added one more in the final minutes to bring him just one away from tying Allen for third.

And just as important as his place on the all-time touchdown list, Henry also left Lambeau Field in the top 10 on the NFL's all-time rushing list as well. 

Henry truly had a night for the record books 

The five-time Pro Bowl and former NFL Offensive Player of the Year passed Tony Dorsett for 10th. Henry now has 12,892 in 10 years in the NFL. Next up in front of Henry is Eric Dickerson with 13,259.

With one game left in the 2025 season, Henry has 1,469 rushing yards, 16 touchdowns and an average of about 5.0 yards per touch on the season. 

Henry ran with a purpose all night, but a purpose that likely was more motivated by keeping his team's playoff hopes alive than where he stands on any all-time list.
