Nobody on L.A.\u2019s defense had an answer for the two-time NFL rushing champion, but Mack wouldn\u2019t give Henry his props.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the veteran is keen to see the Ravens again because he\u2019s confident he\u2019d stop Henry the next time. Speaking after the game on Monday, November 25, Mack told reporters, including\u00a0NFL Network\u2019s Bridget Condon, \u201cThat\u2019s the thing, man. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s hard to play against that guy, and hopefully we see this team again. That\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/x.com\/BridgetCondon_\/status\/1861274740146700534<\/p>\n<p>Those are bold words after Henry\u00a0averaged 5.8 yards per carry, rushed for nine first downs and twice converted on fourth down, but Mack wasn\u2019t done talking. Instead, the 33-year-old told\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Kris Rhim, \u201cIt\u2019s not hard for me to play against that guy. I love playing against the greats and this was no different. When I say \u2018hard,\u2019 I mean in the sense of playing against him. If I\u2019m on the field, I know if he come to my side I got him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither Mack nor any other member of the Chargers\u2019 defensive front seven \u201cgot\u201d Henry on Monday night.<\/p>\n<h2>Derrick Henry Ran Through Chargers<\/h2>\n<p>Henry spent the whole night in California swatting defenders aside as if they were minor annoyances, rather than genuine threats. A great example of the way he toyed with the Chargers was this double stiff-arm move on the same run, highlighted by\u00a0NFL on CBS.<\/p>\n<p>The play summed up how the Chargers were bludgeoned by Henry and Co. on the ground. Third-down back\u00a0Justice Hill\u00a0and quarterback\u00a0Lamar Jackson\u00a0also got in on the act to help the Ravens amass\u00a0212 yards on 37 rushing attempts.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody played their part, but Henry was the closer who got the ball in clutch situations. Like when the 30-year-old turned a 4th-and-short in Ravens territory into this\u00a027-yard gain\u00a0late in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Going for it on fourth down in your own half of the field is usually a no-no. Especially when only leading by a point, but Ravens head coach John Harbaugh knows the risk is reduced when Henry is in the backfield. Baltimore\u2019s\u00a0ultimate finisher was responsible for another of the three fourth-down conversions Harbaugh\u2019s team managed on the night.<\/p>\n<p>Henry has taken his game up a level since joining the Ravens in free agency. He\u2019s\u00a0never been satisfied, even when topping 1,000 yards rushing as early as Week 9.<\/p>\n<p>This was vintage stuff from the dominant running back of his era. A performance worthy of more respect than Mack offered.<\/p>\n<h2>Khalil Mack Has Given the Ravens Bulletin-Board Material<\/h2>\n<p>Not that they needed any, but Mack has provided the Ravens with extra motivation to earn their respect come playoff time. His comments should be pinned to every bulletin board in the halls of M&amp;T Bank Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>If Mack doesn\u2019t rate Henry\u2019s 140 yards this week, how about the King breaks 200 if the two teams meet again in the postseason? That would surely be worthy of a more gracious reaction from a player who finished with just\u00a0three solo tackles, none for loss, in Week 12.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Henry and the Ravens should simply view Mack as one more doubter they can prove wrong. The ultimate rebuttal will come from winning a championship, and it would be foolish to dismiss the Ravens\u2019 chances as long as Henry stays upright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Derrick Henry was disrespected by a Los Angeles Chargers All-Pro, despite dominating on Monday Night Football.
