Derrick Henry delivered one of the best performances of his career as the Ravens took down the Packers in a crucial 41-24 win on the road.
The Ravens pulled off the victory without star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was on the sidelines due to injury. As a result, they stepped up by emphasizing Henry in the run game, which worked to absolute perfection.
Tyler Huntley had a decent night while filling in for Jackson at quarterback. He completed 16 passes out of 20 attempts for 107 yards and a touchdown while adding eight rushes for 60 yards.
Henry dominated Green Bay’s defense for the entirety of the game, racking up a career-high 36 carries for 216 yards and four touchdowns. Zay Flowers enjoyed a great performance in the receiving game, making four catches for 30 yards and a touchdown. Mark Andrews came next with four receptions for 28 yards, while Isaiah Likely caught three passes for 27 yards.
Baltimore improved to an 8-8 record on the season, holding the second spot in the AFC North Division standings. They are above the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns while trailing the Pittsburgh Steelers. In terms of the AFC standings, they sit at ninth place. They are above the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs while trailing the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers.
The Ravens will hope for the Browns to stun the Steelers in Week 17. That way, they can have a showdown with Pittsburgh for the AFC North title on Jan. 4 at 1 p.m. ET.
