Rasul Douglas wanted no part of Derrick Henry, but not many people would either.
It took just one play for Baltimore Ravens star running back Derrick Henry to make history against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football, and he did not have to worry about defenders getting in his way.
On Baltimore’s first play of the game, Henry got the crowd at M&T Bank Stadium going crazy when he took a handoff from quarterback Lamar Jackson and ran 87 yards for a touchdown, setting a Ravens franchise record for the longest run in team history.
His touchdown was impressive, but if just one player on the Bills’ defense had done his job, he could’ve been tackled well before he got downfield.
Fans exposed Buffalo Bills cornerback Rasul Douglas for making a business decision when it came to trying to step in front of Derrick Henry, who is 6′ 3″ and 247 pounds.
Basically, he did not want to feel the pain from a collision or be embarrassed by a devastating stiff arm.

Derrick Henry Is The Perfect Fit For The Ravens
When Henry signed with Baltimore over the offseason, many assumed he might not get the chances to run the ball since Lamar Jackson runs so much.
After totaling 151 yards on the ground in last week’s win against the Dallas Cowboys, Henry showed that he is the perfect fit for this team.
If he continues running like this, Derick Henry just might be the final piece to getting the Ravens over the hump and back to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2012 season.
