Henry's three TDs, Jackson's 324 yards lift Ravens 41–23 at Indy
By Jordan Vance
Indianapolis got out to an early lead in Jesse Minter's Ravens coaching debut. It didn't matter. Baltimore answered immediately and never trailed again, rolling to a 41–23 win behind two future Hall of Famers playing like it.
Derrick Henry is 32 years old and somehow still doing this. He ran for 144 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries — his 56th career 100-yard game and eighth with three or more rushing scores. His 125 career rushing touchdowns now sit two ahead of Hall of Famer Marcus Allen, third on the NFL's all-time list. Lamar Jackson scored first for Baltimore, a 5-yard run that flipped a 6–0 deficit, and Henry piled on from there — a 4-yard score in the first quarter, then a 3-yarder in the fourth to close the door.
Jackson matched him blow for blow. He threw for 324 yards and a touchdown, added that rushing score, and threw no interceptions — a bounce-back after a rougher 2025, even with a lost fumble in the second half. His best throw was a 54-yard touchdown to Zay Flowers, who had 5 catches for 150 yards in the first half. Flowers did not play after that; Baltimore ruled him out in the third quarter with a hamstring injury. That exit is worth watching into next week. He was the best player on the field for a half before he left.
Baltimore led 31–13 at the break — the fifth time in franchise history the Ravens have scored 31-plus points before halftime. Indianapolis never got closer than two scores the rest of the way. Jonathan Taylor was the one bright spot for the Colts, scoring twice and finishing with 121 yards from scrimmage on 22 touches. Daniel Jones had a quiet first start in Indy's new offense — 19-of-31 for 166 yards, a touchdown to Tyler Warren, and an interception that set up Henry's first score. Taylor also lost a fumble that Baltimore turned into Henry's 32-yard touchdown.
Fantasy winners
Henry looks exactly like the workhorse he's been for a decade — this is a top-shelf running back performance in any format, and the touchdown equity isn't going anywhere as long as Baltimore keeps feeding him goal-line work. Jackson's 324-yard day with a rushing score is the more important story for his weekly QB1 case than the highlight throw to Flowers. Taylor stayed involved on 22 touches even in a blowout, which matters for his floor going forward.
Fantasy questions
Flowers' hamstring is the one to track before Week 2 — a receiver who was outproducing everyone on the field doesn't get pulled for nothing. Jones' first Colts start didn't explode (166 yards, one score, one pick); worth watching whether Indy leans more on Taylor and the run game while he settles in.
