Derrick Henry had a career-high 36 carries for 216 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Ravens to a 41-24 victory over the Packers on Saturday night.
It set off a celebration in Chicago as the Bears clinched the NFC North with the Packers’ loss. Green Bay falls to 9-6-1.
The Ravens remain alive in the AFC North race with an 8-8 record.
Henry had touchdown runs of 3, 1, 3 and 25 yards, with his last touchdown icing the game with 1:56 remaining.
It was Henry’s NFL all-time best seventh career 200-yard game, and he moved into the top 10 in rushing yards with 12,892, passing Tony Dorsett, and his 122 rushing touchdowns are fourth-most in NFL history and only one behind Marcus Allen for third.
The Ravens finished with 74 plays and 414 yards, including 307 rushing yards. They had the ball for 40:16 to 19:44 for the Packers, wearing down the defense.
The Ravens scored on seven of eight possessions, not counting a kneel-down to end it.
Tyler Huntley, who started in place of injured starter Lamar Jackson, did his part in completing 16 of 20 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 61 yards on seven carries.
The Ravens did not have a turnover, while the Packers had two.
The Packers had 363 yards, with Malik Willis going 18-of-21 for 288 yards with a touchdown. He also ran for 60 yards and two touchdowns on nine carries.
Willis, who was questionable to play with a right shoulder injury, started in place of injured starter Jordan Love. He left with 7:40 remaining in the fourth quarter after aggravating his injury but appeared ready to come back in the game before Henry’s final touchdown.
Clayton Tune finished the game.
Christian Watson caught five passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. It was the first time a Packers player has had 100 receiving yards in a game since Oct. 26 when Tucker Kraft had 143 against Pittsburgh.
Malik Willis was questionable to play Saturday night because of a right shoulder injury.
He was having a career night when he threw a 7-yard pass to Christian Watson with 7:40 left in the fourth quarter. Willis was not contacted on the play but immediately grabbed his right shoulder in pain.
Willis left the game and sprinted up the tunnel to the training room.
The Packers list him as questionable to return.
Clayton Tune replaced him, and on his second snap, threw a perfect pass to Bo Melton. The pass went through the hands of Melton and into the hands of Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey.
The Packers now face a real uphill battle to come back, trailing 34-24 with 6:56 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Willis is 18-of-21 for 288 yards and a touchdown and has run for 60 yards and two touchdowns on nine carries.
The Ravens answered again after the Packers got within one score.
Baltimore drove 85 yards in 12 plays and used 6:52 off the clock with Zay Flowers catching a 10-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Huntley. With 10:10 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Ravens lead 34-24.
The Ravens have 63 plays for 353 yards, including 246 on the ground.
Derrick Henry has 29 carries for 160 yards and three touchdowns.
Huntley, who is subbing for injured starter Lamar Jackson, is 16-of-20 for 107 yards and a touchdown. He has run for 55 yards on six carries. Flowers has four catches for 30 yards and the score.
Malik Willis’ second touchdown run has pulled the Packers to within 27-24 of the Ravens.
The quarterback’s 11-yard run, with 2:02 remaining in the third quarter, completed a seven-play, 86-yard drive. Willis did point to his hamstring after the play, and the team’s medical staff was looking at him on the bench.
Willis’ first touchdown run went for 22 yards, and he now has 45 yards on seven carries.
He is also 16-of-19 for 272 yards and a touchdown.
The Packers trailed 27-14 at halftime but have scored on both possessions of the second half and forced the Ravens to punt for the first time tonight on Baltimore’s first possession of the second half. Green Bay settled for a red-zone field goal on the first drive of the second half, stalling at the Baltimore 6.
Packers cornerback Kamal Hadden is the team’s latest player to be ruled out.
Hadden was injured while combining with Edgerrin Cooper to bring down Derrick Henry after a 1-yard gain with 8:50 remaining in the third quarter. Peacock opted not to show a replay of the injury, which required a vacuum splint placed on Hadden’s left ankle before he was carted off the field.
Hadden was subbing for cornerback Nate Hobbs, who was ruled out with a knee injury in the first half.
The Packers are left with only Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine, Bo Melton and Javon Bullard at the position for the remainder of tonight.
The team also has ruled out wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) for the second half after Wicks went into the training room late in the first half.
The Packers previously ruled out defensive lineman Jordon Riley (Achilles) and safety Zayne Anderson (ankle).
