The Baltimore Ravens took a 7-6 lead over the Chicago Bears right before halftime thanks to a touchdown run by running back Derrick Henry. It’s a score that officially marks Henry in the history books, as he has now surpassed all-time legend Walter Payton in one category.
Henry’s touchdown rush is the 111th of his career, which put him past Payton on the all-time rushing touchdowns list, according to Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun. The two-time First-Team All-Pro now has the fifth most rushing touchdowns in NFL history.
“Ravens offense finally gets rumbling: 12 plays, 62 yards, 6:48. Henry with the 2-yard TD, the 111th of his career, breaking the tie with Walter Payton for 5th all time.”
The only running backs in league history who are above Derrick Henry in the all-time rushing touchdowns list are Emmitt Smith (164), LaDainian Tomlinson (145), Marcus Allen (123), and Adrian Peterson (120). Before the late second-quarter touchdown for the Ravens on Sunday, Henry was tied with Walter Payton.
