Derrick Henry rushed 24 times for 144 yards and three touchdowns in the Ravens’ Week 1 win over the Colts, adding one reception for 19 additional yards.
Age continues to be just a number for Henry. The 32-year-old bell cow handled 24 of the backfield’s 30 carries on Sunday, averaging an impressive 6.0 YPC while ripping off four gains of 10-plus yards. Henry did his part to keep the Ravens on schedule all afternoon, and wound up finding the end zone three times on Sunday. His first score, which came on a four-yard plunge in the first quarter, was followed by a 32-yard score in the second quarter, in which Henry shook off two tackles on his way into the end zone. He would add a third score early in the fourth quarter for good measure while pushing the Ravens’ lead to 38-16. It’s only one game, but Henry doesn’t look like he’s lost a step heading into his 11th season. He’ll be on the RB1 radar in Week 2 in a plus matchup against the Saints.
