There was a full moon in Baltimore on Thursday night, all thanks to Ravens running back Derrick Henry.
During the fourth quarter of the Ravens’ November 7 showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals, Henry, 30, had his pants pulled down by Bengals defensive tackle B.J. Hill.
Henry’s butt was briefly on full display for Thursday Night Football viewers at home before the Ravens star managed to pull his pants back up.
Naturally, social media had a field day with the startling moment.
“‘Coach, how the hell do we tackle Derrick Henry. He’s beating our ass out here,’” one person joked via X. “‘Pull his whole ass out.’”
Another viewer wrote, “Derrick Henry caked up lord have mercy.”
“They done violated Derrick Henry on live TV 😂,” another fan joked.
Henry had 16 carries for 68 yards and one touchdown during the Game, which the Ravens won 35-34 in thrilling fashion.
After the game, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson revealed how he responded to the news of his team signing Henry last offseason.
“I heard about it just like everybody else,” Jackson, 27, told former NFL wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald on Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football postGame show. “When I saw it pop up on the screen I was like, ‘This gotta be fake news.’ But it was real, man.”
Henry signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Ravens in March. The four-time Pro Bowler spent the first eight years of his professional career with the Tennessee Titans.
Through the first nine weeks of the season, Henry leads the NFL in rushing yards and touchdowns. His 12 trips to the end zone are four more than both Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams, who both have eight rushing touchdowns on the season.
Henry scored his 100th career touchdown during the Ravens’ Sunday, November 3, 41-10 victory over the Denver Broncos.
“God has been tremendously good to me,” Henry told reporters after the achievement. “I’m thankful. Credit to everybody who’s been a part of my career to help me get to this milestone.”
Henry added, “I don’t take it for granted.”

“It’s a big thing,” Harbaugh, 62, told reporters. “We have been really good at running the ball for a long time, but this is different. I mean, Derrick Henry is different. He is adding a dimension that we have not had before.”
The Ravens return to action Sunday, November 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
