The ninth week of the NFL is nearly in the books, with just one game left to play. Several players had incredible performances, along with surprising results from multiple teams.
Arguably the most impressive performance of the week came from Derrick Henry, who rushed for 106 yards with two scores on the ground in the Ravens’ 41-10 win over the Broncos.
Henry became the 10th player in NFL history with 100 career rushing touchdowns, and also became the only player in NFL history with a touchdown in each of his first nine games with a team. “King Henry” continues to climb up the ranks of several records, recording his 21st career game with 100+ rush yards and two or more rushing touchdowns— tied with Emmitt Smith for the third most such games in NFL history. Only Jim Brown (25) and LaDainian Tomlinson (25) have more.
This was also his 26th career game with two rushing touchdowns, the fourth-most in NFL history behind Tomlinson (38), Smith (36), Adrian Peterson (28), and Brown (27). He is on pace to be the fourth player in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) to lead the NFL in carries, rush yards, yards per carry and rushing scores in the same season (Early Campbell, Walter Payton, O.J. Simpson).

This was his fourth career game with a perfect passer rating, the most by any quarterback since 1950 (min. 15 pass attempts in each game). He broke a tie with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner, and Ben Roethlisberger who each had three.
“Action Jackson” also became the fifth player since 1950 to have 20+ pass…
