Henry entered today’s game with 15 total touchdowns on the season, tied with Ray Rice (2011) and Mark Ingram II (2019) for the most in Baltimore Ravens franchise history. He didn’t stay tied with the two for long.

With 10 minutes left in the first quarter, Henry punched in a two-yard touchdown, giving him 16 total TDs on the year and breaking the record. The score capped off another dominant performance by the future Hall of Famer, who has been a force for Baltimore since joining the team this offseason.
Derrick Henry has been a game-changer for the Baltimore Ravens this season, amassing 1,636 rushing yards, 13 (now 14) rushing touchdowns, and two receiving touchdowns.
His contributions have been instrumental in the Ravens' offensive success, particularly in generating big plays. Baltimore leads the NFL with 73 plays of 20+ yards, including 23 rushes and 50 passes, showcasing their explosive capabilities.
Derrick Henry sets Baltimore Ravens' single-season TD record vs. Texans
This historic moment for Derrick Henry follows another milestone for the Ravens that happened a couple of weeks ago against the Giants. With three minutes left in the first quarter of their Week 15 tilt in East Rutherford, Mark Andrews caught a 13-yard touchdown from Lamar Jackson, giving him 48 career touchdowns and passing Jamal Lewis as the Ravens’ all-time leader.
Mark Andrews makes @Ravens history!

Harbaugh summed up Andrews' achievement perfectly: Andrews is “all ball, all the time.”
And it shows every time he steps on the field. Between Henry’s single-season dominance and Andrews’ all-time greatness, the Ravens are flexing serious offensive firepower.
As for Henry, he doesn’t just play against the Texans—he crushes them. During his years with the Titans, Henry put up numbers against Houston that would make any defensive coordinator lose sleep.
Four of his six career 200-yard rushing games came against the Texans, and he’s piled up 1,431 rushing yards on them across his career. Even with Henry now out of the AFC South, Houston can’t escape him, as he brings his signature bruising style to Baltimore’s top-ranked rushing attack.
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans knows exactly what his defense is up against. “He’s playing fast. He’s playing physical. He is tough as ever,” Ryans said, adding that Henry “brings it all” with a combination of speed, power, and explosiveness.
Henry enters today’s game with 1,636 rushing yards on the season—second in the league—and is fresh off a 162-yard performance against Pittsburgh. The Texans were tasked with slowing down a Ravens offense that averages 5.7 yards per carry and peaking at the perfect time.
With the remainder of this game and one more left in the regular season, Derrick Henry has a real shot to push this record even further. This milestone is a big deal—not just for Henry, but for a Ravens offense that’s been unlocked since his arrival. He’s making history, and the way he’s playing, he’s nowhere close to being done.
Henry has made history. And the way he’s playing, it feels like there’s more where that came from.
