Derrick Henry Obliterates NFL Records, Drops 216 Yards & Saves Ravens’ Season at Lambeau

The King just delivered a masterpiece at Lambeau Field, and the history books will never be the same.

If you thought the running back position was dead, Derrick Henry just stiff-armed that narrative into the earth’s core. In a do-or-die Week 17 clash at the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, King Henry didn’t just step up; he put the entire city of Baltimore on his back.

With MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson sidelined with a back contusion, the Ravens’ season hung by a thread. Enter Henry, who turned in a vintage, career-defining performance to steamroll the Green Bay Packers 41-24. We aren’t just talking about a great game; we are talking about NFL history.

The Stat Line That Broke the Internet

Let’s look at the damage. The King took 36 carries (a career-high workload) and turned them into absolute gold:

216 Rushing Yards (Season High)
4 Rushing Touchdowns (Tied Career High)
6.0 Yards Per Carry

Henry looked like a created player on Madden rookie mode. The Packers’ defense had zero answers for the freight train in purple.

Rewriting History: Move Over, Adrian Peterson & O.J. Simpson

Saturday night wasn’t just about a win; it was a coronation. Henry officially recorded his 7th career game with 200+ rushing yards. That breaks the all-time NFL record previously held by Hall of Famers Adrian Peterson and O.J. Simpson. Let that sink in. In the modern passing era, Henry is doing things the legends couldn’t even sustain.

Furthermore, Henry disrespected the “Lambeau Leap” tradition by running for 216 yards—the most rushing yards ever recorded by an opposing player in the stadium’s 67-year history. He also passed Tony Dorsett to enter the Top 10 All-Time Rushers list and leapfrogged AP on the all-time touchdown list. First ballot Hall of Fame? Stop asking. It’s guaranteed.

“I’m Built For This”

Despite taking a physical pounding with 36 carries, Henry shut down any concerns about his durability. Speaking to reporters post-game, he dropped a quote that belongs on a Nike billboard: “I’m built for this. This is what I train for.”

Remarkably, Henry isn’t even listed on the injury report heading into Week 18. The man is a cyborg.

Playoff Hopes Alive

Thanks to Henry’s heroics, the Ravens are still hunting for the AFC North crown. While Henry admits he’ll be “watching and praying” for a Steelers loss, one thing is certain: no team in the NFL wants to see this version of the Baltimore Ravens in January. Ground-and-pound is back, and the King is sitting comfortably on his throne.
