Derrick Henry began the 2025 National Football League season with a notable performance, scoring the first touchdown for the Baltimore Ravens against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. The running back’s 30-yard touchdown run came early in the second quarter, following a stiff arm to Buffalo safety Cole Bishop. This play not only gave Baltimore a 10-7 lead but also marked Henry’s 107th career rushing touchdown.
With this score, Henry moved into sixth place on the league’s all-time rushing touchdown leaderboard. He surpassed Jim Brown and is now just behind Hall of Famers Walter Payton and Adrian Peterson in career rushing touchdowns.
Henry’s first-half performance included over 100 rushing yards, making it his 48th career game reaching at least 100 yards. He passed Hall of Famers Franco Harris and LaDainian Tomlinson for eleventh place in league history for most games with over 100 rushing yards.
The running back’s production continues after a strong 2024 season with Baltimore, during which he rushed for 1,921 yards and scored 16 touchdowns. He enters the new season under a two-year contract extension worth $30 million.
