Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry moved past a tie with Hall of Famer Jim Brown, scoring the 107th rushing touchdown of his career on a 30-yard rumble in the second quarter of the season opener against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.
Heading into the game — and season — Henry and Brown were deadlocked at sixth all time with 106 TDs.
The 31-year-old Henry is now gaining on another Hall of Famer, Chicago Bears icon Walter Payton, at No. 5 all time. Payton finished his celebrated career with 110 rushing scores.
Brown reached 106 TDs in 118 games, while Henry matched him in 136 games and is now looking to track down Payton, who hit 110 in 190 games. Thus, Henry’s next milestone TD mark is likely to come at a much faster clip than his Chicago predecessor.
