The Baltimore Ravens have raised their game this NFL season, thanks in part to the impressive performances and talent of not only their QB Lamar Jackson but also the powerful Derrick Henry. It was indeed the RB who set a new league record during the game against the Washington Commanders.
The former Tennessee Titans player scored a touchdown once again in a game this season, making him the second player since 1970 to score a TD in six consecutive games with his new team.
ESPN journalist Jamison Hensley announced this via his X (formerly Twitter) account @jamisonhensley: āWith that TD today, he became 2nd player since 1970 merger with a TD in each of the first 6 games of a season with a new team, joining Robert Edwards (1998 rookie season with Patriots).ā
Henry entered the matchup against the Commanders with a total of 6 touchdowns, playing a key role in the Ravensā turnaround this season, which started with two consecutive losses. By Week 5, they had finished with a positive record of 3-2.
