Five-time Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry gave the best performance of his illustrious career Saturday night, keeping the Baltimore Ravens’ playoff hopes alive.
Henry gained a season-high 216 yards, the most ever by a visiting player at Lambeau Field, and tied a career-high with four touchdown runs in the Ravens’ 41-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
Henry carried the ball a career-high 36 times, set an NFL record with his seventh 200-yard game, tying O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson, and moved into fourth place all-time with 122 rushing touchdowns.
Leader in statistics:
ravens
Passing: Tyler Huntley, 16/20, 107 yards, 1 TD Rushing: Derrick Henry, 36 carries, 216 yards, 4 TD Receiving: Zai Flowers, 4 catches, 30 yards, 1 TD
packers
Passing: Malik Willis, 18/21, 288 yards, 1 TD Rushing: Malik Willis, 9 carries, 60 yards, 2 TD Receiving: Christian Watson, 5 catches, 113 yards, 1 TD
Tyler Huntley started in place of injured running back Lamar Jackson in last weekend’s game against the New England Patriots, completing 16 of 20 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 60 yards on eight carries for Baltimore.
There was also a second-string quarterback playing for the host team.
Malik Willis started in place of Jordan Love (concussion), who was injured in overtime against the Bears last week, and completed 18 of 21 passes for 288 yards and one touchdown.
The 26-year-old also had nine attempts for 60 yards and two scores in Green Bay, but left in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return.
Willis insisted after the game that it was just a “tweak,” but it remains unclear whether Jackson, the two-time MVP, will return for the Ravens (8-8), who will face Pittsburgh (9-6) in Week 18 for the AFC North title if the Steelers lose to the host Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Green Bay (9-6-1) lost its third straight game and was eliminated from the NFC North chase as the Chicago Bears clinched the division title.

Leader in statistics:
texans
Passing: CJ Stroud, 16/28, 244 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT Rushing: Jokuvias Marks, 19 carries, 71 yards Receiving: Jaden Higgins, 2 catches, 88 yards, 1 TD

Passing: Justin Herbert, 21/32, 236 yards, 1 TD, 1 rushing: Justin Herbert, 6 carries, 37 yards receiving: Quentin Johnson, 5 receptions, 98 yards
Stroud completed 16 of 28 passes for 244 yards and two interceptions. Although the Texans remain in the AFC South, they are at least guaranteed a wild card spot. The Jacksonville Jaguars (11-4) are in first place in the division and will face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Justin Herbert completed 21 of 32 passes for 236 yards, one touchdown, and one interception for the Chargers (11-5), but the Chargers were eliminated from AFC West contention and will begin the playoffs on the road. With the loss, the Denver Broncos (13-3) clinched the division title, heading to next week’s matchup with Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, the Texans are still in contention for the AFC South, which they have won multiple times, having qualified for the playoffs three consecutive years for the first time in franchise history. Armed with the best defense in the NFL, they look to earn their first appearance in the AFC Championship Game.
