Derrick Henry made the Los Angeles Chargers his latest victim while leading the Baltimore Ravens to a win on Monday night, and Khalil Mack is anxious for another shot to face the star running back.
Henry rushed for 140 yards on 24 carries in Baltimore’s 30-23 win over the Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. After the game, Mack said he was “p–sed off” that L.A. allowed 212 rushing yards as a team and would relish the opportunity to face Henry again.
“I don’t think it’s hard to play against that guy and hopefully we see this team again,” Henry told reporters. “The way I play I football I would love to play this team again. I would love to. It’s not hard for me to play against that guy. I love playing against the greats and this was no different.
“When I say ‘hard,’ I mean in the sense of playing against him. If I’m on the field, I know if he come to my side I got him.”

Henry is now up to 1,325 rushing yards on the season with five games remaining. He was likely even more motivated to run defenders over on Monday night after he made a critical mistake in Baltimore’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.
The Chargers and Ravens could very well face one another again in the playoffs, which is why Mack wants to make it clear he is not afraid to line up across from Henry. If there is a rematch, our money is still on King Henry.
