Derrick Henry rushed for a season-high 215 yards on 26 carries, and scored 2 touchdowns to lead Tennessee to a 31-10 win over Jacksonville. Henry exceeded the 200-yard mark for the second time this season, and for the fourth time in the last 3 years. Some superlatives for Henry:
- Henry rushed for over 100 yards in his 9th consecutive road game. That’s the second-longest such streak in the NFL since the 1970 merger, ranking only behind Barry Sanders’ 10 straight.
- Henry became the first running back in NFL history to have four games of 200+ rushing yards and 2+ touchdowns. He was previously tied with Hall of Famers Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, and LaDainian Tomlinson.
Here is a compilation of Derrick Henry’s best runs from the day:
Jalen Hurts, in his first career start, led Philadelphia to a 24-21 win over New Orleans. Hurts, the youngest starting quarterback in Eagles history, threw for 167 yards (17-for-30) and a touchdown, and ran for 16 yards on 18 carries. He became just the second quarterback since 1950 to run for 100+ yards in his first start, joining Lamar Jackson.
Tua Tagovailoa threw for a career high 316 yards and 2 touchdowns, and ran for 24 yards and another touchdown in Miami’s 33-27 loss to Kansas City. Dolphins were without their top two running backs today, and lost arguably their two best wide receivers and their best receiving tight end during the game, which gives some context to Tagovailoa’s numbers today.
Calvin Ridley has 124 receiving yards and a touchdown in Atlanta’s loss today, and went over the 1,000 receiving yard mark for the first time in his 3-year career.
Maruschka Waldus and her Vålerenga teammates won a championship for the second straight Sunday. Last week was the Toppserien league championship, and today’s was the Norwegian Women’s Cup. Both championships are firsts for Vålerenga. For the Cup win today, Vålerenga defeated LSK, who had won 5 of last 6 Norwegian Women’s Cups.
Pia Rijsdijk made her debut with Napoli Femminile today, playing the full match and recording a shot on goal in a 2-1 loss to Verona.
