Derrick Henry has a chance.

The Baltimore Ravens' running back is still in contention for the NFL rushing title heading into Sunday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18, which is the last game of the entire regular season.

Earlier Sunday, Buffalo Bills RB James Cook passed Indianapolis Colts star Jonathan Taylor to take the lead in rushing yardage.

But Henry could, with a big game, run him down.

How many yards does Derrick Henry need to win the rushing title?

Derrick Henry needs 153 yards on Sunday night to claim his crown.

James Cook finished the season with 1,621 yards.

Henry enters the night with 1,469 yards.

Working in Henry's favor? It's his 32nd birthday.

Don't count out King Henry from getting the job done to claim the title.

And if Henry does that, it might also be enough for the Ravens to win, which would claim the AFC North title and a spot in the playoffs.
