Baltimore Ravens can help Derrick Henry be one of the best ever
Unlike the Tennessee Titans, the Baltimore Ravens have a few tricks up their sleeve. They have one of the best head coaches in the NFL. They also have a much easier-to-work in-spread offense. To top it all, their offensive line is one of the best in the league. Additionally, he still has Lamar Jackson to hand him the ball.
A perfect combination in which he can thrive and continue to be the best at his position. The spread offense combined with that offensive line will help him move around the field faster and better. Keeping defenses on their toes. Then the mere presence of Lamar Jackson suggests that defenses will be on their back foot even before the ball is snapped.
This setup could lead them to a Super Bowl, something they have been trying their hand at for some time. The defense has held their side of the bargain. With Derrick Henry in the lineup, the offense could now make their presence felt.
