Derrick Henry Rushes for 102 Yards Against Falcons

Derrick Henry surpassed 100 rushing yards in the Baltimore Ravens' Week 5 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, finishing with 102 yards on 24 carries. The Baltimore running back also caught an 18-yard touchdown pass, contributing to the win while quarterback Lamar Jackson was sidelined with an ankle injury, according to Sports Yahoo.

Henry averaged 4.3 yards per carry against Atlanta, with his rushing production largely coming through steady gains rather than explosive plays. The Sports Yahoo report noted that he recorded only one play that qualified as a significant gain, as the Falcons' defense limited his opportunities for bigger runs.

Despite reaching the end zone through the passing game, Henry encountered difficulties near the goal line. He was stopped twice inside the 1-yard line, preventing him from adding rushing touchdowns to his performance.

Jackson's absence influenced Baltimore's offensive approach, with Henry carrying a substantial workload against Atlanta. The Ravens relied on their veteran running back to handle the ground game while their starting quarterback remained unavailable because of his ankle injury.

Jackson's potential return in Week 6 remained a possibility, according to the Sports Yahoo report. His availability could affect Baltimore's offensive setup for its next game, although Henry's 102-yard rushing performance and touchdown reception established his contribution to the Week 5 win.
