the Ravens coaching staff has a high level of awareness as they clearly knew the Colts would be worried about stopping Derrick Henry (spoiler alert - they didn't)... the Derrick Henry effect began to weigh on the Colts defense... the Ravens used the wham play (tight end or fullback wham blocks defensive tackle) to spring Henry loose for his 32 yard touchdown

Negative signalUsage

Henry featured in Ravens' creative run game; 32-yard TD shows offensive priority despite secondary role.

Ravens featured Henry prominently in Week 1 game plan despite him being more of a second option in the overall attack; he scored a 32-yard touchdown on a wham play and the Ravens coaching staff clearly prioritized getting him touches, knowing the Colts would be worried about stopping him. The source notes the Ravens used creative play design combined with motion and the threat of Lamar Jackson booting to maximize Henry's effectiveness, though the Saints believe they can limit his impact by clogging running lanes and making contact near the line of scrimmage.
