Derrick Henry’s 44-yard touchdown against the Steelers on Saturday night brought out the inner kid line Lamar Jackson.
“It looked like a movie clip,” said Jackson when asked about Henry’s run during his postgame presser.
The movie in question? Pixar Animation classic “Cars,” which Jackson said he watched as a kid.
“You know when Lightning McQueen just flying, flashing past?” said Jackson. “That’s how Derrick looked.”
