Former Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry made quite the debut with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, scoring the first touchdown of the 2024 NFL season against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 11-play, 70-yard drive ended with a 5-yard touchdown run by Henry, marking his 91st rushing TD in his career. This ties him for 11th place in NFL history alongside Franco Harris and Jerome Betts.
After eight seasons with the Titans, Henry signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Ravens in March during NFL free agency. This move has already paid off for Baltimore, as Henry proved to be a valuable asset in their season opener against the Chiefs. Notably, seven of Henry’s regular-season rushing touchdowns have come against Kansas City.
