The great running back was bumped out of bounds before reaching the end zone. That task fell to Lamar Jackson, who found Mark Andrews for a TD that made it 34-10.
Henry hit 21.72 mph on the run. That’s incredible for a 30-year-old.

Jackson and Henry were a problem that the Buccaneers could not solve after taking a 10-0 lead.
