Stanley: Lamar Jackson Fun to Watch but 'Gazelle' Derrick Henry 'Might Take the Cake'

The Baltimore Ravens surely envisioned nights like Saturday when they signed Derrick Henry in the offseason.

Henry and Lamar Jackson combined for 267 rushing yards while leading the Ravens to a dominant 28-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Wild Card Round. Henry steamrolled his way through the rival defenders with 186 yards and two scores on the ground by himself with one of the touchdowns going for 44 yards to halt Pittsburgh's temporary momentum in the third quarter.

"I thought it was fun watching Lamar run, but watching Derrick Henry run for a touchdown, I think that might take the cake," Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley told reporters in the aftermath. "Maybe because he's like 6-foot-5 running like a gazelle."

ESPN's Jamison Hensley noted Baltimore's 299 rushing yards set a new franchise record and represented the most yards on the ground in a postseason game since the 2012 San Francisco 49ers ran for 323.

It was clear from the start which team was going to control the line of scrimmage, and the Ravens even ran on all 13 plays during an 85-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter.

The only hole in Jackson's resume coming into the season was his playoff performance, as he started his postseason career with a 2-4 record as a starter and six touchdown passes to six interceptions.

So Baltimore responded by adding an elite running back and putting defenses in positions where they would have to pick their poison as they attempted to stop the combination.

That offense looked to be in its final form in the most important moment of its season to this point during the win over the Steelers, and the offensive line surely wasn't going to complain about all the run blocking for two of the NFL's best.

Just ask Stanley.
