Derrick Henry officially surpassed 1,000 rushing yards in the 2024 NFL season, reaching the milestone in just nine weeks—a feat that typically takes other running backs much longer. However, despite Baltimore Ravens’ dominant 41-10 victory, Henry had a candid message for his Ravens teammates during the postgame press conference.

Although pleased with the win, Henry admitted he wasn’t satisfied with his own performance. “I’m not happy with how I played, and I need to do better this next game,” he shared, expressing a commitment to improve.

In addition to his self-assessment, Henry made a point to recognize his Ravens teammates’ efforts. “I give the credit to the guys who are blocking to make my job easier,” Henry said. “Credit to all the guys blocking, they did a great job and showed unselfishness.” He also praised the offensive line’s chemistry, highlighting its impact on his success.

Henry commented on Lamar Jackson’s limited rushing attempts in the game, adding, “He didn’t have to run; he’s dangerous with his arm, and I think he showed that today. If you want to stopping the run, he’ll go over their heads and throw it. And if he needs to run, he’ll do that too.
