Jackson, Henry power Ravens past Steelers in AFC wild card - ESPN

BALTIMORE — There were times on Saturday when Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson didn't feel like he was playing in an AFC wild-card game. When watching running back Derrick Henry tear through the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, Jackson had flashbacks to a certain movie.

«Do you watch the movie 'Cars'? When Lightning McQueen was just flying flashing past, that's how Derrick looks,» Jackson said. «He was running past all those guys. It just looked like a movie, bro. I'd rather be watching it than being on the other side of the ball. I know that.»

Never letting off the gas pedal, Henry set a Ravens postseason record with 186 yards rushing and two touchdowns as Baltimore rolled to a 28-14 win over the Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium. Frustrating Pittsburgh with stiff arms and sprints up the middle of the defense, Henry recorded his fourth postseason game with 150 or more yards rushing, which ties him with Terrell Davis for the most in NFL playoff history.

The Ravens advance to the divisional round next weekend, when they will play at the Buffalo Bills or home against the Houston Texans. In the meantime, Baltimore will think back to Henry's 44-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and smile.

«I thought it was fun watching Lamar run, but watching Derrick Henry run for a touchdown, I think that might take the cake,» Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley said. «Maybe because he's like 6-foot-5 running like a gazelle.»

Jackson and the NFL's No. 1 offense was without Pro Bowl wide receiver Zay Flowers, who was sidelined with a knee injury. It didn't matter because the Ravens ran the ball on 50 of 72 plays. On an 85-yard drive in the second quarter, Baltimore ran the ball on all 13 plays, including Henry's 8-yard touchdown
