After a 0-2 start to the 2024 season, the Baltimore Ravens have answered with two straight wins. They are now 2-2, second in the AFC North only to the 3-1 Steelers. In Week 4, Baltimore was at home to face Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. The Ravens’ defense held the Bills to just 10 points and only three points in the first half.

Henry carried the ball 24 times for 199 rushing yards and a touchdown. He had three catches for 10 yards and a receiving touchdown. His 87-yard touchdown is a new team record for the Ravens.
