Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson are already proving what they’re capable of, with the running back scoring the first touchdown of the 2024 NFL season for the Baltimore Ravens against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Ravens made many mistakes and it cost them penalties but they still managed to get on the scoreboard on their very first drive, with Jackson giving Henry the ball a lot.

The former Tennessee Titans star got five carries on that drive, just one less than the entire Ravens’ RB room had in the 2024 AFC Championship Game, where they lost 17-10 to the Chiefs.
