Derrick Henry turns 17 carries into 57 yards

Derrick Henry, the Baltimore Ravens' running back, carried the ball 17 times for 57 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. The Baltimore strategy of feeding Henry the ball proved effective initially, but the Jaguars ultimately secured a multi-score lead, leading to the game's conclusion. Despite the loss, the Ravens now have an extra day of rest before their Week 10 matchup with the winless Chargers, providing Jacoby Brissett with ample time to prepare for a potential starting role.

While Brissett may not be a star, he has demonstrated the ability to manage an NFL offense effectively, potentially mitigating the pressure on Henry. At present, Henry remains a reliable RB1.
