Wed Dec 25 23:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Ravens’ Henry Chases History, Aims for Second 2,000-Yard Season

**Baltimore, MD** – Derrick Henry’s move to the Baltimore Ravens has proven to be a resounding success. The veteran running back is on the cusp of a historic achievement, needing 364 rushing yards over the final two weeks of the 2024 NFL season to reach 2,000 yards for the second time in his career.

Currently sitting at 1,636 rushing yards, second only to Saquon Barkley (1,838 yards) in the league, Henry’s chances hinge largely on a strong performance against the Houston Texans in Week 17. Henry has a remarkable history against the Texans, averaging 102.2 rushing yards per game against them throughout his career, including four 200+ yard games.

While last season saw the Texans’ defense hold Henry to just 51 yards, the Ravens’ improved overall offensive prowess could be a key factor in unlocking another dominant performance. Even if he falls short of 2,000 yards, Henry’s 2024 season is already among the best of his career, putting him on pace for 1,854 yards.

Achieving 2,000 rushing yards would place Henry in elite company, making him only the second player in NFL history to accomplish the feat twice. The feat would solidify his place among the league’s all-time greats and cap off a remarkable season for the veteran in a new uniform. The NFL world will be watching closely as Henry makes his final push for this historic milestone.
