Henry and Jackson have combined for 10 carries for 141 yards and 2 TDs with about 10 minutes left to go in the 2nd quarter.

Buffalo is small and not well equipped to stop the run.

Well this game got insane

LET’S GO!!!

That Bills/Ravens game was the best thing on tv in quite some time. 

Cam Ward is not garbage, even if the post was meant in jest. So many dropped balls. They should have won that game, IMO, and I picked Denver in my suicide pool this week.

I hope Detroit falling on their faces without help was more about Ben Johnson's greatness than we realize.

Fields looked really good. Glad to see it even though it's always fun watching the Jets flounder year after year. How does the Jets vaunted defense let an old cripple tear up their side of the field for an entire game?

So glad football is back.

I went to bed halfway thru 3rd quarter lol. Picked a bad game to turn off early . Hopefully the Lions looking bad is because of losing Johnson and Glenn and less about the Packers being Vaunted

Try to find a way to watch the 4th quarter. It was a crazy finish and well worth the watch even if you already know the outcome.

I'm 99% sure I have all nfl games recorded on YouTube tv. That's my plan for tomorrow night

It'll be tough to top that game last night for the rest of the year.  That was absolutely nuts.  The throw Allen made to get them into FG range on the last drive was pretty amazing.

The post I quoted was asking for overreactions

Derrick Henry currently has 11592 rushing yards, which means he's 6763 yards behind Emmitt. He's currently in his age 31 season. At age 28 he had over 1500 yards with Tannehill as his QB and at 29 he had 1167 yards with Tannehill and Levis splitting time. Then last year with Lamar he got over 1900. If he could average 1300 yards over the next three years, that would mean he'd only be 3000 behind Emmitt (taking out the 169 he got last night). He'd obviously have to stay healthy, but he's only had 1 year where he played fewer than 15 games. Maybe he stays with Baltimore for a couple more years and averages 1500 yards through 2027. That puts him about 2400 behind Emmitt and he'll be going into his age 34 season. Three years as a part timer at 800 yards a year gets him there at age 36. 

It's definitely not likely, but I don't think it would be the craziest thing if he managed to surpass Emmitt. And we never know who the freak outliers are until they're actually doing it (like Brady and LeBron, though obviously the RB position is different than QB or an NBA player).

All things factored, Henry might be the scariest RB we've ever seen. To move like that at his size is ludicrous.

He still doesn't have as many NFL rushing yards as he did in 4 years of high school, which is absolutely insane.

That’s amazing. His senior year of high school, his average game was 35 carries, 328 yards and 4 TDs. For the season he had 4261 yards and 55 TDs in 13 games.
