Ravens' Derrick Henry passes legends on multiple all-time lists in win vs. Cowboys

The Baltimore Ravens' big 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil on Sunday was also an historic day for one of the team's best players. 

As he often does at this point in his career, Derrick Henry further etched his name in NFL history with his latest performance. He ran for 89 yards on 26 carries and scored two critical touchdowns. 

Derrick Henry keeps making history 

But it's where he now stands career wise that stood out the most. Henry moved up multiple all-time lists in the game. First, he passed Eric Dickerson for ninth place for career rushing yards with 13,319. 

Henry also left the game one spot higher for total rushing touchdowns, too. He now has 135, moving one ahead of Marcus Allen for the third most touchdowns on the ground. 

And at 32 and in his 11th NFL season, Henry is still among the most consistently productive backs in the league. So far through three games, he has 301 yards on 66 attempts for an average of 4.6 per touch with six touchdowns.

Henry has put up some of his best seasons in recent years 

Henry even entered 2026 coming off two of racking up 1,595 yards last season and 1,921 in 2024 for his second-highest total in a single season, only behind his 2,027-yard campaign with the Tennessee Titans in 2020. 

Resume-wise, Henry, a five-time Pro Bowler, has been named a first-team All-Pro once and a second-team All-Pro three times. He's led the league in rushing twice (2019, 2020) and was awarded the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year honor for his monster 2020 season. 

Showing no signs of slowing down, both literally and figuratively, there's no telling what numbers Henry will finish with and where he will rank among the greatest running backs in history.
