The NFL world is understandably dumbfounded by Baltimore's misusage of Derrick Henry last night:
Rodney Harrison: "That's the one guy the Patriots did not want to tackle. ... I absolutely, at times, hate the Ravens' offensive strategy. ... What are you saving him for? You saving him for next year?"
Tony Dungy: "If Steph Curry just hit six three-pointers in a row, you don't take him out and say 'oh, this is your time to rest now.' No. ... You've got a lead. You've got to protect the lead. ... It just did not make any sense to me."

With backup QB Tyler Huntley trying to help win the game, the Ravens didn't put Derrick Henry on the field to help him on the final two drives.
Henry had a fumble early, but was also picking up speed again. 18 attempts, 128 yards, 7.1 average, 2 TD
John Harbaugh and Todd Monken will have to answer questions.
Derrick Henry is on an absolute tear, the New England Patriots haven't found an answer to stop him just yet.
The answer? He's on the bench for an entire drive.
Just unfathomable coaching from the Ravens
Derrick Henry averaged 7.1 yards per carry on 18 carries with two touchdowns against the Patriots
He didn't see a snap on the Ravens' final two drives of the game with Baltimore having three timeouts
