- Derrick Henry, Justice Hill power Ravens’ comeback win over Falcons
Derrick Henry rushed for 102 yards, and Justice Hill added 73 as the Ravens leaned on the ground game to win 30-23 in overtime over the Falcons on Sunday night. Baltimore finished with 208 rushing yards on 35 carries, averaging 5.9 yards per attempt. Henry handled 24 carries, while Hill produced his total on just four attempts, including a 47-yard run.
The Ravens established that advantage early, rushing for 90 yards in the first quarter against an Atlanta defense that entered allowing 48.3 rushing yards per game. Turning that production into points proved harder, and Baltimore settled for three first-half field goals.

Henry's biggest late contribution came on the tying two-point conversion. After Tyler Huntley found Devontez Walker for a touchdown with 40 seconds remaining, Henry took a direct snap and powered into the end zone to tie the game 23-23.
Henry also caught an 18-yard touchdown pass earlier in the second half. Hill's explosiveness and Henry's workload gave Baltimore complementary answers on a night when the passing game needed time to settle.
That combination remains a major strength entering Week 6.
