Yahoo Sports NFL on Derrick Henry

Henry scored on wham play but was secondary option; Ravens used play action to set up run game.

Henry was more of a secondary option in the Ravens' Week 1 attack despite the Colts' defensive focus on stopping him. The Ravens used creative play design, motion, and the threat of Lamar Jackson's boot action to spring Henry loose; he scored a 32-yard touchdown on a wham play (tight end/fullback wham block on defensive tackle) that put Baltimore up 28-6 in the second quarter. The source characterizes this as quintessential Ravens football, using play action to set up the run and allowing Henry to operate in the redzone.
