Lamar Jackson from the Ravens perfect again; The Lions' Jared Goff is still on fire

2) Ravens' big win leads to more history for Derrick Henry

As is often the case when a team scores 41 points, Lamar Jackson wasn't the only Ravens player who made history on Sunday.

Henry, the NFL's leading rusher, added 126 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens' 31-point win over Sean Payton's Broncos.

It was the 21st time in Henry's career that he recorded at least 100 yards and two scores, tying Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith for the third-most such games in NFL history.

For the most games with 100 rushing yards and two touchdowns all-time, Henry trails only Hall of Famers Jim Brown and LaDainian Tomlinson (25 games each).

Henry also scored his 100th and 101st career rushing touchdowns in his 128th career game. Adrian Peterson has the fifth-fewest games played and reached 100 rushing touchdowns all-time, behind Tomlinson (93), Smith (99), Brown (113) and Shaun Alexander (119).

While his 11 rushing touchdowns lead the NFL, they also mark the seventh consecutive season in Henry's career in which he has eclipsed double-digit rushing touchdowns.

The only other players in NFL history with double-digit rushing touchdowns in seven consecutive seasons are Tomlinson (2001-2009) and Peterson (2007-2013).
