From the article

He had a modest game at 4.3 yards per carry, well below his standard. More strange, however, was his usage in the game. In a game where the Ravens caught an early lead and were missing their top wide receiver, their future Hall of Fame running back had under 20 carries. Even worse, he had only five carries the entire second half when the Ravens led by 14-3 with less than 30 seconds in the first half.

Derrick Henry had a modest game at 4.3 yards per carry, well below his standard, but the more concerning issue was his usage. Despite the Ravens catching an early lead and missing their top wide receiver (Zay Flowers), their future Hall of Fame running back had under 20 carries. Even worse, he had only five carries in the entire second half when the Ravens led 14-3 with less than 30 seconds remaining in the first half. The source calls this a baffling choice that dates back to his first year in Baltimore.
