Another season, another year Derrick Henry appears set to defy Father Time.

The Baltimore Ravens running back rushed for two touchdowns during the first half of Sunday's season opening 41-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts to move into third all-time on the league's rushing TD list.

He later added a third touchdown to cement another career day in his likely Hall of Fame career.

Henry now has 125 career scores on the ground -- two ahead of Hall of Famer Marcus Allen (123).

"Love Marcus Allen," Henry said after the game. "He's a great dude, and for my name to be mentioned over his is an honor. I'm very grateful."

His record-breaking score came in vintage Henry fashion as he rumbled through the Colts defense for an explosive 32-yard TD to contribute to a 31-point first half for first-year coach Jesse Minter.

Henry finished with 144 yards on 24 carries as Baltimore moved to 1-0.
