Check out the Ravens side of this Lamar in 2026 for 323 yards.

Derek Henry 24 rushes for 100 and 32 yards, including some big ones throughout the game.

Zay Flowers had nine catches for 100 and 32 yards.

I'm not just reading statistics here.

I think those are important stats because they show you that when this offense is firing on all cylinders, man, pick your poison, what's going to stop you?

Stop?

I don't know, it's amazing that Lamar is still so great, that Lamar is in the Hall of Fame, all these things that he's already locked into, but it's almost like Lamar is no more the engine of this offensive.

They have him who can throw for over 330 yards if they need it.

But Derek Henry, they figured out that, oh my God, we could just get a ton of yards with this guy.

I think he is, he's been their MVP so far this season, as crazy as that sounds when you have a two-time MVP, a quarterback that's playing at the same level.

He always played because Derek Kenner simply changed the offense.

It's not the Lamar Show anymore.

It is.

We can hit however you want, you want Derek Kenner with 100 and 32 yards.

Please.

The way you talk about Zay Flowers.

Zay Flowers did all of this in the first half.

He didn't have a catch after halftime.

He set a franchise record for catch-and-a-half at nine and then he thought, OK, well, let's just do something different in the second half.

Whether taken away or caught out to sea, Bateman caught balls.

Mark Andrews came, waking from his sleep.

Suddenly I thought, “Wow, Mark Andrews is back with 66Y and a touchdown on this team.”

If this team stays healthy, Dirk Henry won't get worn down, which I, most mortals, would do at this point, but Derek Henry is just such a freak.

It's not, it's just made of steel or something.

I don't understand how he can do this at his age with the workload he's had since high school.

It's amazing how fresh he looks.

He looks like a second grader.

I don't know how you stop that because if you try to take away Lamar in the running game, Derrick Henry will give you a wound, you try to take away Derrick Henry.

Well, good luck dealing with the rest of the Ravens. The Ravens simply suffered their opening loss to Kansas City.

No big deal.

That's what's going to happen.

The strange loss for your Raiders.

But every other game it's like this could be the best team in football because Derek Henry has completely changed their appearance as a football team.

There were two plays in the fourth quarter that I thought were significant late in the game when Washington only needed to get a stop and we know their defense is a liability.

There was a quick throw outside.

Now this Ravens offense likes to use that little quick throw that forces someone to make a business decision to stop Derrick Henry.

And it was just a really great moment where Derrick Henry overwhelmed everyone and it just ended, and then late in the game, obviously when they needed it, it was third and one that even the broadcaster said and I did thought that was such an important point.

Third and one is a nightmare against this Ravens team because they will either give it to you.

You don't like it and what they did is they faked the handoff and threw Lamar out and there's nothing you can do, but you couldn't do anything to stop this team if they chose to decided to run football this way. That's what they did.

Uh, there's, uh, try it every time I say that.

But there is an efficiency, that's my favorite word this year.

The way they run their offense right now is efficient.

I just don't know, I don't know what you do other than hope you catch someone on a bad day.
