Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry surpassed Hall of Famers Thurman Thomas and Franco Harris on the NFL's all-time rushing list during Sunday's 27-19 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Henry gained 75 yards on 20 carries, moving into 15th place with 12,124 career rushing yards. The win marks the Ravens' third straight victory, keeping them close to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the standings.
The Baltimore Ravens improved to 4-5 with a 27-19 comeback win against the Minnesota Vikings on November 9, 2025, extending their winning streak to three games after starting the season 1-5. Lamar Jackson returned to lead the offense, completing 17 of 29 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown, while the defense secured two interceptions to secure the victory.
Minnesota struck first, marching 86 yards for a touchdown on their opening drive to lead 7-0. The Ravens managed only three points across their first four possessions, trailing 10-9 at halftime thanks to field goals from kicker Tyler Loop, including a short one just before the break.
Baltimore seized momentum after halftime. Rookie safety Malaki Starks intercepted a deep pass from Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy on the opening drive, setting up a field goal that gave the Ravens a 12-10 lead. Minnesota fumbled the ensuing kickoff, allowing running back Justice Hill to score on a third-quarter touchdown run, extending the advantage to 19-10.
The Vikings responded late in the third with a field goal, narrowing the gap to 19-13. Jackson then rolled right and connected with tight end Mark Andrews in the end zone for a touchdown, pushing the lead to 26-13. Minnesota fought back, with wide receiver Jalen Nailor hauling in a toe-tap catch on fourth-and-goal to make it 26-19 after a failed two-point conversion; an earlier interception by linebacker Roquan Smith was overturned on review, keeping the drive alive.
The Vikings' final drive stalled on fourth-and-4 when McCarthy's cross-body pass to running back Aaron Jones fell incomplete. The Ravens' defense also limited star wide receiver Justin Jefferson to four catches for 37 yards.
Henry's 75 yards not only powered the ground game but also etched his name higher in NFL history, passing Thomas (12,074 yards) and Harris (12,120 yards). Both Hall of Famers were playoff standouts: Thomas ranks third in postseason rushing (1,442 yards) and had 135 yards in Super Bowl XXV, while Harris leads Super Bowl rushing (354 yards) and won four rings with the Steelers.
