Ravens defeat Colts 41-23 as Derrick Henry climbs NFL career TD list
Baltimore beat Indianapolis 41-23, with Derrick Henry scoring three touchdowns to move into third place on the NFL's all-time rushing-TD leaderboard.
Baltimore opened the season with a 41-23 victory over Indianapolis, extending its streak of scoring at least 20 points in the first ten games of a season, the longest active run in the league. Running back Derrick Henry rushed for 144 yards on 24 carries and recorded three touchdowns, his 56th 100-yard game and his eighth with three or more rushing scores, moving him to third on the NFL’s career rushing-TD list with 125 touchdowns, two behind Hall of Famer Marcus Allen.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 17 of 25 passes for 324 yards, including 229 yards in the first half, and added a rushing touchdown. Wide receiver Zay Flowers contributed five catches for 150 yards and a 54-yard touchdown before leaving at halftime with a hamstring injury.
For the Colts, quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 166 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his first start since tearing his Achilles tendon in December. Running back Jonathan Taylor had 98 rushing yards on 19 carries with two touchdowns but also lost a fumble.
The Ravens built a 28-6 lead early, scoring 31 points before halftime, a franchise first-half total achieved only five times in its history. Indianapolis narrowed the gap to 31-16 in the third quarter, but Henry’s fourth touchdown sealed the win.
Both teams will travel next week, with Baltimore heading to New Orleans and Indianapolis to Kansas City.
