Henry's run game sets up play-action opportunities for Flowers downfield.

Derrick Henry will be used to set up play-action shots to Zay Flowers on deep dig routes; the Ravens' ground game is central to their offensive scheme, and if the Colts' undersized linebackers cannot stop Henry, the Colts will be forced to use safeties in run support, opening up opportunities for Flowers over the middle.
