The Dallas Cowboys run defense has been a disaster to start the season, and it had Baltimore Ravens star Derrick Henry licking his chops heading into a Week 3 matchup.

Henry is perhaps the best power back of his generation, and his move to the Ravens over the offseason was a beautiful marriage for the player and team.

After two decent performances in his first two weeks with the Ravens, Henry was finally ready for his breakout game.

Henry already had a touchdown on the afternoon when the Ravens lined up for a 3rd-and-1 in the third quarter.

Thats when Henry busted free for a 29-yard gain that included a vintage stiff arm right to the head of a Cowboys defense.

A few plays later, Henry got into the end zone for a second time to open up a big Ravens lead.

As a wise man once said , dont stand on the tracks when the trains coming through.

Thats old school football, and its beautiful.

The Ravens beat the Cowboys 28-25.

Henry ended the game with 25 carries for 151 yards and two touchdowns.

Its always fun to see a team run the damn ball..
