Ravens' Derrick Henry Reaches 12,000 Career Rushing Yards Milestone

Derrick Henry, running back for the Baltimore Ravens, reached a major milestone by becoming the 17th player in NFL history to surpass 12,000 career rushing yards during a 28-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Henry, who rushed 19 times for 119 yards in the game, also ranks fifth in NFL history in rushing touchdowns with 112, joining an elite group of just eight players with over 12,000 yards and 100 rushing touchdowns. His performance was highlighted by a 35-yard run and an increased workload, marking his second 100-yard game in the last three contests. Henry's legacy is firmly tied to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, as every eligible running back reaching this milestone has been inducted, placing him among greats like Jim Brown and Walter Payton. The game also marked the return of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson from injury, who threw four touchdown passes and completed 18 of 23 attempts for 204 yards, further contributing to the Ravens' dominant win. Additionally, multiple players with Alabama ties participated in the game, emphasizing the talent pipeline from the state to the NFL.
