Derrick Henry put together a performance for the ages Saturday, setting a career high with 36 rushing attempts for 216 yards and four touchdowns to help the Baltimore Ravens beat the Green Bay Packers and stay alive in the AFC North.

Henry made history at Lambeau Field and joined the NFL's all-time top 10 for rushing yards. Here are the most impressive stats and facts from the five-time Pro Bowler's vintage outing:

2: The number of teams with which Henry has scored four rushing touchdowns in a game. The former Tennessee Titan is the only player ever to accomplish that feat with two different franchises.

4: The 31-year-old moved into fourth place in NFL history for career touchdown runs after scoring four against Green Bay to tie a career single-game high. Only Emmitt Smith (164), LaDainian Tomlinson (145), and Marcus Allen (123) have more career rushing TDs than Henry's 122.

7: Henry is now No. 1 in league history for 200-yard rushing performances. Saturday's masterpiece was his seventh game with at least 200 yards on the ground.

25: Tomlinson and Jim Brown were the only NFL running backs with 25 career games featuring at least 100 yards and two touchdowns rushing. Henry joined that list Saturday.

216: Henry's yardage total against the Packers is the most by a visiting player in the history of the historic Lambeau Field.

12,892: Henry's career rushing yards rank 10th on the NFL's all-time list. The veteran tailback passed Tony Dorsett on Saturday and could join the top six by next season.
