Week 10 of the NFL season kicked off with the Baltimore Ravens facing off against the Cincinnati Bengal in an AFC North Rivalry game. The game was equally important for both squads. The Ravens need to make up some ground against the 8-0 Kansas City Chiefs if they want any shot at getting home-field advantage in the playoffs. The Bengals are just looking for anything to help get them going as they sit third in the division with a 4-5 record.

Media Pundit Declares Derrick Henry OPOY Front-Runner
The Ravens have no doubt been impressive during this recent string of wins. And it is not just that the Ravens are winning — they are DOMINATING. Their offense is putting up 30.3 points per game this season, which is second in the NFL behind the Detroit Lions.
That has been in large part to free agent acquisition Derrick Henry who is having one of the best seasons of his career. To this point, Henry has 11 touchdowns and over 1000 rushing yards with eight games remaining on the schedule. Bill Barnett of ESPN believes that Henry should be the front-runner for the NFL's Offensive Player of The Year award.
"The now 30-year-old back is producing a historically significant campaign. Through nine games, Henry has 1,052 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns," Barnell writes.
"The only other backs to top the round numbers of 1,000 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns through the first nine games of the season over the past 40 years are Emmitt Smith in 1995, Terrell Davis in 1998, and Shaun Alexander in 2005. All three won league MVP awards. Henry is on pace for 1,987 rushing yards; if the Ravens want to let him try, there's a realistic chance he'd make a serious run at Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 rushing yards in a single season.
