Derrick Henry Sparks Ravens' Rushing Power Against Buccaneers

Since an 0-2 start, Baltimore has had the best month of any team in the NFL. On Monday, it faces a Tampa Bay team that has shown last season’s playoff berth was no fluke.

The Game: Ravens vs. Buccaneers

  • Ravens Record: 4-2
  • Buccaneers Record: 4-2

The Storyline: A Battle for Points

Prepare for points. Baltimore’s 35.5 points per game over its last three games is third-best in the NFL.

Behind quarterback Baker Mayfield, the Buccaneers lead in points per play, gaining a franchise record 594 net yards last week in a win at New Orleans.

The Matchup: Derrick Henry's Run Challenge

How long will Derrick Henry’s running back renaissance continue? Henry has rushed for 574 yards in his last four games alone, a total so high it would rank third among all NFL rushers through six weeks.

Going on the road hasn’t been much of a deterrent for Henry, who averages 5.4 yards per carry away from home, as quarterback Lamar Jackson mirrors this success with 6.2 yards per carry.

This sets up a strength-vs.-strength matchup, given the Buccaneers’ defense ranks among the league leaders in stopping the run by allowing just 113 rushing yards per game.
