The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. The game was back-and-forth from start to finish. The Buccaneers scored the first ten points before the Ravens scored 34 straight to go into the fourth quarter with a 34-10 advantage. Then, Tampa Bay produced 21 fourth-quarter points and two touchdowns in the final four minutes, but fell short, 41-31.
Lamar Jackson led the way with five touchdown passes and only five incompletions in another impressive effort. Derrick Henry, a Ravens running back, rushed for 169 yards on 15 carries, including an impressive 81-yard run.

However, Henry failed to score in the long run, and the Ravens star expressed disappointment following the game. “Should’ve scored smh slow af,” Henry commented on X. “Much love flock.”
Zyon McCollum tackled Henry at the Buccaneers’ 11-yard line, stopping him from running 92 yards for a score. For what it’s worth, Next Gen Stats reported that Henry reached a top speed of 21.72 mph throughout the run.
Derrick Henry reached a top speed of 21.72 MPH on his 81-yard run, the 5th-fastest speed by a ball carrier this season and the 3rd-fastest of Henry's career.

So it doesn’t appear that Henry was as slow as he believes. He then received the next two carries before Jackson connected with Mark Andrews for a touchdown throw. This is Henry’s first game without a rushing touchdown this season. On the other side, the Ravens’ star running back did reach the end zone with a 14-yard reception in the fourth quarter. The Ravens are now 5-2 on the season and will face the Cleveland Browns on the road in an AFC North rivalry game.
