Will Derrick Henry break Eric Dickerson's 40-year old single-season rushing record?

[True Dough]

He's currently on pace to do just that.

If he can keep it up, Henry will rack up 2,120 yards, surpassing Dickerson's 2,105 yards from the 1984 season. But, it's an uphill battle.

Henry's 873 yards rushing are the most in the first seven games of a season since DeMarco Murray had 913 in 2014. Murray finished with 1,845 yards rushing.

If Henry is able to break Dickerson's record, he would have earned it. In Henry's final 10 games, he will face eight run defenses that rank in the top half of the league, including the Cleveland Browns' 15th-ranked run defense Sunday.

But Henry has proved he can defy the numbers. His 873 yards are the second most by a player 30 or older through seven games in NFL history, trailing only Walter Payton's 875 yards in 1984.

I stayed far away from Henry in our fantasy football league. He's 30 years old. By NFL running back standards, that usually when your career falls off a cliff. What do I know?
