GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — With their backs against the wall, the Baltimore Ravens made sure they wouldn’t underutilize Derrick Henry again.
The five-time Pro Bowl running back responded by delivering one of the greatest performances of his brilliant career to keep the Ravens’ playoff hopes alive.
Henry rushed for a season-high 216 yards and matched a career high with four touchdown runs in the Ravens’ 41-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night.
“It’s one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
The Ravens (8-8) now must hope the Pittsburgh Steelers lose at Cleveland on Sunday.
