The Ravens' Derrick Henry was upset that he didn't score a touchdown on the 81-yard run

The Ravens' Derrick Henry was upset that he didn't score a touchdown on the 81-yard run

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry rushed for 169 yards and scored a touchdown, but it was the touchdown that the hulking halfback scored not Result that went through his mind after Monday's 41-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.

Like a runaway freight train, Henry reached the second level of the Buccaneers' run defense and broke out for an 81-yard run in the third quarter. Basically, he was gone.

But Tampa Bay cornerback Zyon McCollum was able to rush Henry and tackle him at the Buccaneers' 11-yard line, saving a touchdown.

After the game, Henry took to X (formerly Twitter) and mocked himself for not scoring a touchdown on that play.

What's ironic – and makes the tweet even funnier – is that Henry reached a top speed of 21.72 MPH on the 81-yard dash, the third-fastest mark of his career.

Henry, 30, leads the NFL in rushing yards (873) and rushing touchdowns (8) and has scored a league-wide 13 runs of 20 yards or more in seven games this season.

Baltimore has now won five straight games heading into Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns.
