Midway through the second quarter of the Baltimore Ravens’ 41-38 overtime victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, Derrick Henry took a carry and followed his left tackle for a 5-yard gain. With that, Henry became the 32nd player in NFL history to reach the 10,000 rushing yards mark, out of the over 25,000 men that have played in the 105 years of the National Football League.

And there’s a very good chance that Henry will be the final player to reach that once-hallowed milestone of 10,000 rushing yards.
