Derrick Henry stood before his Ravens teammates after a 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns and said, 'Put this on me,' accepting responsibility for a fourth-quarter fumble that led to the Browns' only touchdown. The fumble occurred after Henry gained 5 yards before being stripped by Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger. Audric Estime scored two plays later to tie the game at 10-10 with 8:33 remaining.
Henry acknowledged the mistake, saying, 'I got to take care of the ball. There's no excuses for that.' This marked his third fourth-quarter fumble since the start of the 2025 season, the most in the NFL. Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton defended Henry, noting his history of making big plays and being his own harshest critic.
Coach Jesse Minter praised Henry's work ethic on ball security but acknowledged the turnover's impact. Henry, 32, ranks ninth on the NFL's all-time rushing list and has led the league in rushing yards and touchdowns since joining Baltimore in 2024. However, his recent fumbles have proven costly, including a turnover in last season's opener against Buffalo that led to a touchdown.
Henry has lost four fumbles since 2025, second only to James Cook's five. The loss dropped the Ravens to 4-2, tying them for first in the AFC North ahead of a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
