Henry picked up his 110th career rushing touchdown, tying him with NFL legend Walter Payton for fifth-most in league history.

It will likely not take much more time for Henry to surpass that number, and he could catch the fourth-place player soon. In fourth all-time is Minnesota Vikings legend Adrian Peterson, who has 120 rushing touchdowns.

Henry currently has 21 yards on the ground and one touchdown on 12 carries for the Ravens-Texans game, at the time of this writing. He may be able to pick up his 110th touchdown, which will place him fifth all-time.

Through four games this season, Henry has 284 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. As stated, the Ravens are currently struggling in 2025, and Henry’s numbers have been a bit down as a result.

Baltimore is dealing with a multitude of injuries, including a major one to star quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson often opens up the running game for Henry to gain chunk yardage because defenses have to account for Jackson’s ability to also get chunk yardage on the ground.

Though the Ravens are likely to drop to 1-4 in this game, Henry continues to prove why he was one of the biggest free agent pickups for the team in 2024.

Baltimore has plenty to figure out regarding their rocky start, but it may be able to do so once Jackson returns. For now, the team needs to rely heavily on their run game with Henry.
