Derrick Henry is a future Hall of Famer and made more NFL history on Sunday afternoon. The talented running back scored rushing touchdown No. 100 of his career, moving into sole possession of No. 10 on the all-time rushing touchdown leaderboard, surpassing Barry Sanders (99).
Henry becomes the fourth player in NFL history to tally at least ten rushing TDs in seven career seasons, joining LaDainian Tomlinson (nine), Adrian Peterson (eight), and Emmitt Smith (eight). Henry would also become the third player in NFL history to reach the mark in seven consecutive seasons, joining LaDainian Tomlinson (nine from 2001-09) and Adrian Peterson (seven from 2007-13).

Henry, who leads the league in rushing yards (969) and total TDs (12 – 10 rushing & 2 receiving), is just 31 yards shy of his sixth 1,000-yard rushing season. Henry has scored at least one touchdown in all eight games this season, setting a new franchise record for the most consecutive games with a touchdown (previous best was RB Willis McGahee, seven straight, in 2007).
Since last season, Henry has scored at least one touchdown in nine consecutive games, an active streak that ranks second in the NFL, only behind Rams RB Kyren Williams (10 straight).
