King of the North: Derrick Henry’s has Historic Night at Lambeau

Read Time:2 Minute, 42 Second

On a night when the Baltimore Ravens’ season was effectively on the line, Derrick Henry didn’t just carry the football; he carried the entire franchise on his back.

In a historic 41–24 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Saturday, December 27, 2025, Henry delivered a performance for the ages, breaking multiple all-time NFL records and keeping Baltimore’s playoff pulse beating.

The “King” by the Numbers

Derrick Henry was relentless from the opening whistle, finishing the night with a stat line that looks more like a video game than reality:

Rushing Yards: 216 (A season-high and the most ever by a visiting player at Lambeau Field)
Touchdowns: 4 (Tying his career high)
Carries: 36 (A new career high)

Rewriting the Record Books

With his performance on Saturday night, Henry didn’t just beat the Packers; he surpassed some of the greatest legends to ever play the game:

The 200-Yard King: Henry now has seven career games with 200+ rushing yards, moving him past Adrian Peterson and O.J. Simpson for the most in NFL history.
Passing the Legends: He increased his career rushing total to 12,892 yards, overtaking Tony Dorsett for 10th place on the NFL’s all-time list.
Touchdown Royalty: With 122 career rushing touchdowns, he leapfrogged Adrian Peterson to move into 4th place all-time.
Surpassing Jim Brown: Henry now holds the record for the most games (14) with 150+ rushing yards and two touchdowns, moving past the legendary Jim Brown.

Game Recap: Domination in the Cold

With Lamar Jackson sidelined due to a back injury, the Ravens leaned entirely on their ground game. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley (16-of-20, 107 yards) managed the game perfectly, but it was the offensive line and Henry who dictated the terms.

Baltimore scored on their first five possessions, with Henry finding the end zone three times in the first half alone. While the Packers, led by Malik Willis, managed to claw back to within 27–24 in the third quarter, Henry and the Ravens responded with a crushing 15-play drive to restore order.

The “dagger” came with 1:56 left in the fourth quarter: a 25-yard touchdown gallop by Henry that sent the Lambeau faithful to the exits and secured the 17-point victory.

“It’s one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said after the game. “He was in complete control from start to finish.”

The Playoff Picture

The win moves the Ravens to 8–8 and keeps their AFC North title hopes alive.

The Scenario: Baltimore now needs the Cleveland Browns to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers today (Sunday).
The Finale: If the Browns win, the Ravens will head into Week 18 with a chance to win the division in a winner-take-all showdown against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
