Derrick Henry: ‘Put this one on me’ after a late fumble in Ravens’ loss to Browns

Cleveland (AP) — Derrick Henry, a dominant force throughout his NFL career, momentarily forgot his primary responsibility during a crucial fourth-quarter play in Baltimore's loss to Cleveland. The 6-foot-3, athletic running back, known for his ability to overpower defenders, hesitated on a routine play, resulting in a fumble that was scooped up by the Browns' Tyson Campbell.

Henry admitted his mistake, stating that he had envisioned it as a positive gain but recognized he should have safeguarded the football. He later apologized to his teammates, emphasizing his resolve to improve. The fumble, Henry's first of the season, was part of a disappointing game for the Ravens, who failed to score on their final nine possessions.

The defense also struggled, allowing a touchdown to the Browns despite a missed field goal by the Ravens' Tyler Loop. Despite the setback, the Ravens remain 1-1 without their star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who continues to recover from an ankle injury. Henry's accountability and commitment to the team were evident as he acknowledged his error and vowed to take better care of the ball moving forward.
