Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry made sure Mark Andrews knew he would do everything in his power to help his teammate convert a fourth-and-1 play from their own 16-yard line late in the first half of the 30-23 of Monday. victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Henry told reporters after the game, he approached Andrews before the sneak play and told him, “I’m going to push the hell out of you” to ensure they would get the yard they needed.

It wasn’t clear at first that the Ravens were going for it on fourth down. They lined up as the clock wound down to the two-minute warning, hoping to draw the Chargers offside.

The two-minute warning gave Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Todd Monken time to come up with a play that they were confident would pick up the yard.

Andrews was lined up under center with Henry and Patrick Ricard directly behind him providing the push. The play was well defended by the Chargers, to the point that it could have easily been stopped if not for Henry’s extra 547 pounds (247 pounds) and Ricard(300 pounds) were not there to boost.

The play proved crucial as the Ravens would end the drive with a score on Lamar Jackson’s 40-yard touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman, giving them a 14-10 lead.

According to ESPN Stats and Info (h/t ESPN’s Jamison Hensley), the Ravens are the first team to convert a fourth-down finish so deep in their own territory in the first half of a game since 2012.
