Ravens' Derrick Henry passes Jim Brown on historic NFL record list image

Derrick Henry is hard to fathom sometimes.

At 31 years old, and at 6-foot-1 and 247 pounds, he remains an unstoppable running back with incredible top-end speed.

And even though Sunday night didn't end the way Henry or any of the Baltimore Ravens would've wanted, he still put on a show.

Henry ended up carrying the ball 18 times for 169 yards and two touchdowns.

It's that pair of TDs that made NFL history.

Henry entered the night tied on the all-time rushing touchdown list with the legendary Jim Brown.

But with his scores, he moved alone past Brown, now with 108 rushing TDs in his regular season career and counting.

Henry is now alone in sixth place in NFL history.

Next up is Walter Payton in fifth, with 110.

The top-four above Payton are Emmitt Smith (164), LaDanian Tomlinson (145), Marcus Allen (123) and Adrian Peterson (120).

Henry doesn't seem like slowing down anytime soon, so he might be able to keep climbing for a while.

No matter how long he lasts, he remains visually astounding to watch. There aren't any other running backs like King Henry.
