The Pittsburgh Steelers are struggling to contain Derrick Henry, which could lead to a challenging game unless they adjust their defense. So far, Henry has accumulated 52 yards on just eight carries, showcasing his formidable running ability.
In the meantime, the Baltimore Ravens have taken an early lead with a score of 7-0, thanks to a 9-yard touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson to Isaiah Likely, which occurred with 5:52 left in the first quarter.
Things got tense for the Ravens during a punt return when Desmond King almost lost possession after a 16-yard return, but fortunately, linebacker Chris Board managed to recover it, averting a turnover.
The Ravens’ offense appears to be in sync, starting their possession from the Pittsburgh 41-yard line and effectively utilizing Derrick Henry, who made five consecutive carries for gains of 11, 13, 9, 6, before a minor loss of 3 yards, which led to the touchdown pass to Likely. Henry came into this matchup with an impressive total of 1,474 rushing yards for the season, indicating his significant impact in games.
With adjustments and better defensive strategies, the Steelers still have the opportunity to turn the tide and regain control of the game as the match progresses.
