The Baltimore Ravens are set to face off against the New York Jets on Sunday, with Derrick Henry looking to make history in the process. If Henry can accumulate 83 yards on the ground, he will surpass four Hall of Famers on the NFL's career rushing list, including Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk, Edgerrin James, and Marcus Allen. This would move Henry from 15th to 11th on the list. Henry has been a powerful force for the Ravens, particularly in the fourth quarter. However, the team has struggled to control games with their running attack this season, often settling for field goals in the red zone. The Jets' defense will look to capitalize on this weakness and prevent Henry from reaching the milestone. The Jets, on the other hand, are seeking to avoid their first 2-9 start since 2014. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor will start for the team, replacing the benched Justin Fields. Taylor has a 29-29-1 record as a starter and will face off against the team that drafted him, the Ravens. The Ravens have been on a four-game winning streak, during which they have allowed only three offensive touchdowns. Quarterback Lamar Jackson has been leading the team with a passer rating of 115.5, although he has struggled to rush for over 50 yards in a single game this season. The game will be played at 1 p.m. EST on CBS, with the Ravens favored by 13.5 points. The Jets will look to snap their losing streak and prevent the Ravens from extending their winning streak.
