In the NFL season opener, Derrick Henry made an impactful debut for the Baltimore Ravens by scoring the first touchdown of the 2024 season. Henry's touchdown came on the Ravens' first drive, where he carried the ball five times for 17 yards, culminating in a five-yard rushing touchdown. This touchdown also marked Henry's 91st career rushing touchdown, tying him for 11th all-time with Jerome Bettis and Franco Harris. Henry was the most-bet player to score the first touchdown and an anytime touchdown across multiple sportsbooks. The Ravens initially led the Kansas City Chiefs 7-0, but the Chiefs quickly responded with a 21-yard touchdown run by Xavier Worthy, tying the game at 7-7 by the end of the first quarter. The Chiefs later took a 10-7 lead after a field goal following a fumble recovery deep in Ravens territory.
