Khalil Mack downplays Derrick Henry’s dominance after Chargers loss to Ravens

Khalil Mack doesn’t seem too impressed with Derrick Henry.

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 on Monday night in a game that Henry dominated. The 30-year-old running back rushed for 140 yards on 24 carries (5.8 yards per carry) and softened the Chargers’ defense for backup Justice Hill, who ran for 55 yards and a touchdown himself.

As a team, the Ravens racked up 212 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. The Chargers looked powerless as they tried to stop Baltimore’s ground attack.

After the game, Chargers edge rusher Khalil Mack was asked why playing against Henry is so difficult. He replied, “That’s the thing, man. I don’t think it’s difficult to play against that guy and hopefully we’ll see this team again. That’s all.’ He continued: “The way I play football, I would like to play against this team. again, I’d love to do that.”

I’m not sure Mack actually got to see the action on the field tonight, despite playing in the game. Henry is a beast and the rest of the NFL knows it.

In 12 games this season, Henry rushed for 1,325 yards on 221 carries (6.0 yards per carry), with 13 touchdowns. He is a legitimate MVP candidate for the 8-4 Ravens at this point.
