The Ravens are turning to Derrick Henry as their best chance to slow down the Buffalo Bills in a pivotal Week 8 matchup, according to Yahoo Sports. Baltimore hopes a heavy dose of Henry can help control possession and keep the ball away from Buffalo's offense.
The approach comes at a critical moment for the Ravens, who have dropped consecutive games and need their offensive line to clean up its blocking to give Henry room to operate. Yahoo Sports notes that improved run blocking will be essential if Baltimore wants to pull off the upset against a strong Bills team.
How much Henry can carry the offense may determine whether Baltimore snaps its losing streak or falls further behind in a tightening playoff picture.
