Derrick Henry Posts 'Cars' Photo After Lamar Jackson's Viral Video After Ravens' Win

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson compared running back Derrick Henry to the main character of the Cars franchise, Lightning McQueen, after his 44-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter of Saturday's 28-14 Wild Card Round victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"You know when Lightning McQueen is just flying, flashing past, and it's like whoosh, whoosh?" Jackson told reporters after the win. "That's how Derrick looked. He was running past, and all those guys just, it looked like a movie bro, I'm not going to lie to you. I'd rather be watching it than being on the opposite side of the ball, I know that."

Henry apparently appreciated the reference, posting the following on social media Sunday:

Henry was indeed cruising on Saturday, rushing 26 times for 186 yards and two scores. He and Jackson diced the Steelers to shreds on the ground, as the quarterback rushed for 81 yards to go along with 175 passing yards and two touchdowns through the air.

"My dad's proud. Jack Harbaugh's proud right now. He likes to pound the rock," Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh told reporters after the win. "Derrick was running hard, physical. Lamar started it off. Lamar carried the ball at different times in the first drive or two."

Jackson said Henry's big performance made his life a whole lot easier against a tough Pittsburgh defense.

"I can just hand the ball off—10 yards, 20 yards, 30 yards and I'm just chilling," he said. "When they're attacking him and I go, I'm fresh. Just making my job a lot easier. We just piggy-back off of each other."

When Baltimore is running the ball well, they are tough to beat, and currently are one of the biggest potential threats to the two-time defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. Since a Week 14 bye, the Ravens have won five straight games, with three of those victories over playoff teams (the Steelers twice and the Houston Texans).

In Henry and Jackson, the Ravens have one of the most dynamic duos in football. Whether they can drive them all the way to the Caesars Superdome and this year's Super Bowl remains to be seen.
