On Thursday, Henry sent reporters home with quotes to spare as he cracked jokes about his offensive teammates, and more specifically, quarterback Lamar Jackson. First, Henry was asked whether other Baltimore players came to him for advice about stiff-arming opponents— a calling card for the five-time Pro Bowler throughout his career.

Derrick Henry showed his mindset for the NFL playoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills, taking the opportunity to send a warning to quarterback Josh Allen's team. The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round on Sunday night.

Way back in September, Ravens running back Derrick Henry rushed for a season-high 199 yards and totaled 209 yards from scrimmage in a 35-10 home victory over the Bills.

In his first couple trips to the playoffs for the Tennessee Titans, Henry was a difference maker. He rushed for 156 yards in a win at Kansas City in January 2018. Two years later, he ran for 182 at New England and 195 in a win at top-seeded Baltimore.

I don’t want to be called anything else but McQueen. So don’t call me Derrick; just call me McQueen,” Henry said Thursday.

Teams have devalued the position in recent years, but the best offenses this season have elite backs as their catalysts.

The Ravens put the Steelers in a bag with their run game from the opening drive in their wild-card win, and they never let up. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry were unstoppable.

One way or the other, stopping Henry is among the challenges Buffalo (14-4) faces Sunday night when hosting the third-seeded Ravens (13-5) and their league-leading offense in a divisional round playoff game.

Five years ago to the day, as a member of the Tennessee Titans, Henry ran over the top-seeded 2019 Ravens with 30 carries for 195 yards. His stiff-arm on Earl Thomas went viral that night, and he added a few more to the highlight reel Saturday versus the Steelers.
