King Henry Reigns at Lambeau! Derrick Henry’s 4-TD Masterclass Sinks Packers in Week 17 Shocker
Derrick Henry just delivered a historic 216-yard, 4-touchdown performance to keep Baltimore's playoff hopes alive while humbling the Packers at home.
King Henry Rules the Frozen Tundra: Ravens Steamroll Packers 41-24
Honestly? If you thought the "King" was slowing down, Saturday night was your wake-up call. Derrick Henry didn't just play; he dismantled the Green Bay Packers on their own legendary turf. In a massive 41-24 win, Henry gashed the Packers for a season-high 216 rushing yards and tied a career-high with four touchdowns. It was a humbling night for a Green Bay defense that simply had no answer for the 31-year-old freight train.
Both teams started their backup quarterbacks, but the vibe was totally different. While Malik Willis played his heart out for Green Bay with a 134.6 passer rating, the Ravens leaned heavily on the run. Baltimore outrushed the Packers 307-79. Here is the kicker: Henry had 15 carries in the first two series alone, becoming the first player to do that since 1999. To be fair, seeing the Packers give up 307 yards on the ground at Lambeau is a total shocker.
The Turning Point
The Packers actually made it a game in the third quarter. Willis scrambled for an 11-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 27-24. But in the make-or-break moments, Baltimore responded. Henry ripped off a 30-yard burst to end the third, setting up a Tyler Huntley touchdown pass to Zay Flowers that put the Ravens back up by 10. When Willis exited late with a shoulder injury, Clayton Tune threw a pick on his first pass, and the celebration was officially on for the Ravens.
