Derrick Henry has proven to be a perfect fit for Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens' offense. And that goes beyond his nine touchdowns. Henry has turned into Baltimore's closer as a reliable runner late in games to burn the clock. He has 34 carries in the fourth quarter and even caught a couple of passes.

Henry getting the ball early, late and often is a positive development for the Ravens, who blew a lead toin their next game at Dallas. Those concerns are muted because of how sure-handed Henry is — and he even has a handful of catches this season to go with his league-leading 704 yards rushing.

“Derrick Henry, you’ve got to feed him the ball,” receiver Zay Flowers said. “No matter who you got at receiver, no matter who you got at tight end, you’ve got to get that man the ball.” “We’re so versatile,” said tight end Mark Andrews, who on Sunday made his first touchdown catch of the season. “Guys are going to get their touches and get the ball and good things will happen.”Struggles defending against the pass continue, as another good quarterback had an impressive day, with Washington rookie Jayden Daniels throwing for 269 yards and two TDs. It’s not quite as bad as Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow lighting up the Ravens for nearly 400 yards, but coverage remains an issue.
