It was only a matter of time until running back Derrick Henry enjoyed his first monster game as a member of the Baltimore Ravens.

Week 3 was the stage, and Henry was the star. He ran for 151 yards and two scores against the Dallas Cowboys in a 28-25 victory that got the Ravens in the win column.

It wasn't easy, as Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott helped his team rack up 19 fourth-quarter points in a valiant comeback effort, but Henry and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson came through in the end.
