Derrick Henry scores first touchdown of 2024, Ravens lead Chiefs 7-0

The Ravens have scored their first touchdown of the 2024 NFL season.

Derrick Henry scored his first touchdown with Baltimore, a 5-yard run that gave the Ravens a 7-0 lead with 8:14 left in the first quarter.

Kansas City’s defense put Baltimore in a bad position early in the possession. But quarterback Lamar Jackson avoided pressure on third-and-11 to find running back Justice Hill on the right side. Hill did the rest for a gain of 18 yards, moving the chains.

Baltimore then made it third-and-9 with a 19-yard pass from Jackson to Zay Flowers over the middle, taking him to the Kansas City 33-yard line.

Jackson then converted a third-and-1 by keeping the ball instead of giving it to Henry, gaining 11 yards. On the next play, Jackson took a designed run of 8 yards to the Kansas City 5-yard line.

Henry then scored the lead.

Notably, Baltimore was assessed three penalties for offensive tackles that were too far back in the backfield. One penalty was accepted, one was overruled, and one was offset with a defensive pass violation.
