- Derrick Henry surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson (13,259 career rushing yards) for ninth on the NFL's all-time rushing list during Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil.
- Henry produced 36 yards and two rushing touchdowns on 10 carries in the first half against Dallas, the performance that pushed him past Dickerson on the career leaderboard.
- Eric Dickerson remains the NFL's single-season rushing yards leader with 2,105 yards from the 1984 season, though he now trails Henry on the career rushing board.
- Emmitt Smith is the NFL's all-time career rushing leader with 18,355 yards, per the source's leaderboard note.
- Since joining the Baltimore Ravens and two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson in 2024, Henry leads the league with 672 carries, 3,728 rushing yards, and 36 rushing touchdowns in that span.
- Jerome Bettis, currently No. 8 on the career rushing list, is the next player Henry is positioned to pass, with the source projecting it could happen within a few weeks.
Why it matters: Henry, a five-time Pro Bowler at age 32, is still ascending the all-time list just two seasons into his Ravens tenure — and his 3,728 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns since 2024 show Baltimore's run game hasn't slowed, putting Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis next on the domino trail while Emmitt Smith's 18,355 still looms far above.
