Derrick Henry delivers back-to-back stiff-arms during punishing run vs. Eagles
Published:
Derrick Henry is still one of the most exciting running backs in the NFL. The star and his Baltimore Ravens are taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in NFL Week 13, and Henry is handing out stiff arms.
Early in the 3rd quarter with the Ravens down 14-12, Henry got the ball and looked to be headed for a short gain or a loss of yards. Instead, Henry stiff-armed 1 defender and then stiff-armed another defender immediately after. The veteran ended up getting 5 yards and the 1st down.
Stiff arm after stiff arm.

That’s the type of play that NFL fans have grown accustomed to seeing from Henry. The Alabama product entered the league in 2016 and has frequently done things that no other RB does.
Henry joined the Ravens ahead of the 2024 season after spending the first 8 seasons of his career with the Tennessee Titans. Henry has twice led the NFL in rushing yards and has earned 4 Pro Bowl selections.
Alabama fans are used to seeing Henry pull off long runs and stiff arms. The massive RB starred for the Crimson Tide from 2013-15. Henry won the national championship with Alabama in 2015 to go with the Heisman Trophy and trails only Najee Harris in career rushing yards at the school.
Henry and the Ravens are trying to pick up their 9th win of the season on Sunday night. The Eagles, meanwhile, are looking to pick up their 10th win. Henry is looking to go over 100 yards for the 7th time in 2024.
