Derrick Henry runs 87 yards for longest touchdown in Baltimore Ravens history

BALTIMORE (AP) – Derrick Henry I needed a part to make prime-time Baltimore Ravens history against the Buffalo Bills Sunday evening.

Henry completed his first offensive snap 87 yards to the end zone for the longest touchdown in franchise history. The veteran running back now has five touchdowns in four games since joining Baltimore.

It was the former Tennessee Titans running back’s third career touchdown catch of 80 yards or more. Only Chris Johnson with six and Adrian Peterson with five have more.

The 247-pound Henry reached 21.29 mph on the run, according to NFL NextGen Stats. That ties the fourth-fastest speed by a running back this season.
