Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry jokingly expressed regret for not scoring another touchdown on Monday night after being tackled following an 81-yard run in the third quarter.

The Alabama product finished Monday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 15 rushing attempts for 169 yards and one touchdown.
During his NFL Draft Combine in 2016, Henry ran a 4.52 in the 40-yard dash, so just to clarify, he is definitely not slow.
