Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 in Week 12. The Ravens’ victory on “Monday Night Football” helped them advance to 8-4 on the season.
Following the Ravens’ Week 12 victory, Jackson spoke with the media, discussing the team’s success against one of the top defenses in the NFL.
The Ravens finished the game with 389 total yards and 6.5 yards per play. While Jackson has received much of the credit for the offensive success, he believes running back Derrick Henry plays a vital role in Baltimore.
Jackson explained that Henry’s versatility has helped the Ravens’ offense flourish this season.
“He’s just a great all-around back man,” Jackson said. “I can’t give him credit enough for how locked in he is, how dynamic he is. I always say this: the name King Henry fits him well.”
Henry, 30, finished the game with 140 yards on 24 carries.

Henry signed with the Ravens during the 2024 offseason after spending eight years with the Tennessee Titans.
He’s been one of the top running backs in the league, competing for Offensive Player of the Year with guys like Saquon Barkley and Justin Jefferson.
So far this season, he’s recorded 13 touchdowns and 1,325 yards on 221 carries.
While the Ravens have been viewed as Super Bowl title contenders for the last few years, with Jackson at the helm, Henry has been a phenomenal spark for Baltimore’s offense all season.
