John Harbaugh said that the Ravens didn’t bring Derrick Henry to Baltimore to give him 30 touches a game. That may be true, but limiting the All-Pro to just five carries in the second half probably wasn’t what they envisioned, either. Henry turns football into a physical war of attrition against opposing defenses, wearing them down over the course of a game. His 13 carries for 46 yards against the Chiefs don’t jump off the box score, but Henry’s advanced metrics indicated that he put together a successful Ravens debut last week. He ranked in the top eight in both success rate and EPA/rush despite a rough run-blocking performance from his offensive line.
