Here is more on why Derrick Henry wasn't on the field for the Ravens' final two drives in a Week 16 loss to the Patriots.

Derrick Henry had his best performance since Week 1 against the Patriots on Sunday Night Football. Henry rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns with his second score giving the Ravens a 24-13 lead with 12:50 remaining in the fourth quarter. And then he never stepped foot on the field again.

When Derrick Henry cruised into the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter Sunday, he gave the Ravens a two-score lead and M&T Bank Stadium was rocking. The New England Patriots hadn't stopped Henry all night and they were seemingly in for a heavy dose down the stretch. However, Henry didn't see the field after that moment.

The Baltimore Ravens made the odd decision to not play running back Derrick Henry down the stretch of the Week 16 game against the New England Patriots. Here's what head coach John Harbaugh and Henry said about it.

Lamar Jackson went down clutching his back, and with him went the Ravens’ increasingly thin margin for error. The crowd noise inside M&T Bank Stadium faded into unease Sunday night as the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player rolled onto his side after Patriots safety Craig Woodson’s knee connected with Jackson’s lower back.

Why didn't Derrick Henry play for most of the fourth quarter against the Patriots? Ravens head coach John Harbaugh explains.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Henry opened the scoring with a 21-yard run with 12:21 left in the first quarter and scored on a 2-yard run as Baltimore took an 11-point lead with 12:50 remaining.

The Ravens led the Patriots by 11 points in the fourth quarter before fading and losing. Here’s what national analysts say about the defeat.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop makes a 56-yard field goal. New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales drains a 41-yard field goal. New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson catches a short pass from quarterback Drake Maye for a 23-yard gain.
