Summary

  • Two first-half touchdowns in Baltimore's season opener lifted Derrick Henry to 125 career rushing touchdowns and sole possession of third place on the NFL's all-time list.
  • The 32-year-old Ravens back passed Marcus Allen's 123 and remains the only active player in the top 10, extending a run of double-digit rushing-touchdown seasons that dates to 2018.
  • LaDainian Tomlinson is next at 145, while Emmitt Smith still leads with 164, leaving Henry 39 touchdowns from a tie and 40 from the record.
  • Under contract through the 2027 season, Henry would need 40 rushing touchdowns over 35 games—about 1.14 per game—to break Smith's mark by then.
