Derrick Henry Poised to Tie Marcus Allen for Third-Most NFL Rushing TDs
Henry is one touchdown away from matching Marcus Allen's 123 career rushing scores, which would place him third on the NFL list.
Baltimore’s Derrick Henry is on the brink of equaling Marcus Allen’s 123 career rushing touchdowns, which would tie him for third-most in NFL history behind Emmitt Smith (164) and LaDainian Tomlinson (145). Adding one more touchdown this season would secure that position. If he reaches a 1,500-yard total, he would become the only player with six such seasons, adding to the five he already shares with Barry Sanders.
Henry’s cumulative rushing yardage stands at 13,018, placing him tenth overall; a season matching his norm could propel him into sixth place, surpassing Eric Dickerson, Jerome Bettis, LaDainian Tomlinson and Curtis Martin. These milestones would further cement his legacy among the league’s all-time greats.
Why it matters
It shows Henry nearing historic NFL rushing records, reshaping the league's all-time leaderboards.
