Derrick Henry’s little brother Minkah Fitzpatrick after a nasty Wild Card stiff arm
Baltimore Ravens‘ running back Derrick Henry he likes to humiliate Pittsburgh Steelers. In week 16, Henry set a record for the most yards by a Ravens player against the Steelers when he went 162 yards on the ground. As it turned out, that performance was just a warm-up for the main event. When the two teams met again in the Wild Card round on Saturday night, Henry tormented Pittsburgh with 186 yards, two touchdowns and one hellacious stiff arm.
The Steelers’ veteran safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was the unfortunate recipient of Henry’s stiff arm from hell, which gave the running back an extra eight yards on a 33-yard run midway through the first quarter. Do you want to see him? Of course you are. Here you are.
When asked about the brutal shot in the chop after the game, Henry almost seemed shy. “My boyfriend Minkah. That’s my boyfriend, B Psi Phi. You know everything is love. On the field, it’s business,” Henry explained via NFL on Prime Video.
Henry was referring to the Alabama football brotherhood, as he and Fitzpatrick both played for the Crimson Tide, overlapping a year in 2015. However, that connection didn’t stop the monster running back from ruining Fitzpatrick’s night (and possibly the entire offseason) with a trademark jab.

Henry had an amazing rookie year with the Ravens. He finished second in the league in rushing with 1,921 yards – a total that would likely have won him the rushing crown in almost any other season. He also finished tied for first with 16 rushing touchdowns.
Nine-year-old RB record breaking season was a phenomenon. Henry also became first player ever to produce two 1,800-yard seasons with 16 touchdowns.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson also performed well against the Steelers, something he is by habit of working. Jackson was ultra-efficient 16/21 passing for 175 yards and two scores. He also added 81 yards on 15 carries Saturday.
With the win, the Ravens improved to 2-1 against Pittsburgh this season. And Baltimore got the most important victory of the campaign. The Ravens are now waiting to find out if they will face the Buffalo Bills or Houston Texans in the second round of the playoffs. If the Denver Broncos can somehow manage to travel to Orchard Park and come away with a win over the Bills, the Ravens will host another playoff game against the Texans next week. If Buffalo dispatches Denver as expected, Baltimore will head to upstate New York where it can’t be missed.
