Ravens Run Rampant: Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry Lead the Way
Baltimore, USASun Jan 12 2025
In a dramatic AFC playoff game, the Baltimore Ravens crushed the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-14. Lamar Jackson, the Ravens' quarterback, threw two early touchdowns, while running back Derrick Henry ran rampant, scoring twice and racking up 186 yards. Jackson and Henry kept the Steelers guessing, creating huge holes for Pittsburgh's defense to fall through. The Ravens' dominant rushing game, totaling 299 yards to Pittsburgh's 29, was the highlight of the game. With this win, the Ravens move on to the second round of the playoffs, leaving the Steelers to end their season with a disappointing five-game losing streak.
Henry's performance was particularly notable, as he ran for the second-highest postseason total yards in his career, just one yard short of his record from five years ago in the same stadium. Jackson's versatile playmaking also shone, as he avoided major risks and only turned the ball over once the game was well in hand. The Ravens' next opponent depends on the outcome of another game, but they are primed and ready for the next challenge.
