In big games, most coaches will lean on their star players. Sunday night was a big game for the Ravens. Derrick Henry is a star player. And most coaches aren’t John Harbaugh.
With a 17-13 lead, the Ravens took over on downs at the New England 44-yard line with 1:53 left in the third quarter. Seven plays later, the Ravens were up 24-13 at the 12:50 mark of the 4th quarter. Henry carried the ball four consecutive times for 32 yards to finish the drive with a 2-yard TD run. Henry would not step foot on the field again.
