While he said that rushing for 2,000 yards wasn’t important to him in 2024, Derrick Henry created a major motivation to reach that milestone in 2025. Henry, the Baltimore Ravens‘ future Hall of Fame running back, recently made a bet with radio host Dan Patrick to appear in an Adam Sandler movie if he gets to 2,000 rushing yards this season.
Patrick, who has made several cameos himself in Sandler’s movies, initiated the bet after Henry told him that Sander is his favorite actor.
“You get to 2,000 yards, I’ll get you in a Sandler movie,” Patrick told Henry.
“Say no more,” Henry replied. “The bet is on. No pressure at all.”
Henry must make NFL history to win his bet with Patrick. If he gets to 2,000 yards, Henry becomes the first player in NFL history to reach that milestone on multiple occasions. In 2020, Henry became the eighth player of the exclusive 2,000-yard club when he rumbled for 2,027 yards. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley joined Henry in the fraternity of 2,000 rushers last season when he ran for 2,005 yards in 16 games.
Barkley’s success made Henry the most prolific single-season rusher in NFL history that didn’t win that year’s rushing title. Last year, his first with the Ravens, Henry ran for 1,921 yards that included a league-best 16 touchdowns on the ground. While he didn’t win the rushing title, Henry’s rushing total is the most-ever for a player over the age of 30. Last year’s success is evidence that 2,000 yards is possible for Henry in 2025.
In addition to making history, it’s safe to say that Henry would probably be just as excited as the reward that would come with it: screen time with his favorite actor.

Zkrátka jsme museli v zápase zabrat úplně všichni a Martin to odnesl hlasivkami. Ale jsme rádi, že jsme vyhráli. Zápas podle mě vystihuje slovo „efektivita“.

NFL Preseason Week 3 Game Recap: Philadelphia Eagles 19, New York Jets 17
Philadelphia capped its preseason with a 19-17 win at MetLife Stadium, holding off a fourth-quarter push from New York’s backups. Both teams rested the bulk of their starters, with Jalen Hurts and Justin Fields among those in street clothes. Jets rookie QB Adrian Martinez led two late touchdown drives to cut a 16-point deficit to two, but a missed two-point attempt and a turnover on downs ended the comeback. Undrafted WR Jamaal Pritchett contributed on offense and special teams, totaling 117 all-purpose yards. PFF's dedicated team of graders was hard at work, analyzing every player on every play in real time. The comprehensive grades and data will be available after a thorough review tomorrow at 12 p.m. EST.

A Squirrel Interrupts Rivalry Between Red Sox and Yankees in the 4th inning
A squirrel ran onto the field during Friday night's game between the Yankees and the Red Sox and caused a brief delay.The speedy critter emerged from an area behind the plate in the fourth inning and stopped behind Boston rookie Jhostynxon Garcia’s left foot as the outfielder took a timeout and adjusted his batting gloves. The squirrel stopped for a second on the third-base foul line before heading to the front of the mound, where it briefly tried to dig a hole as Yankee ace Max Fried looked on."I said, ‘Really, that’s going to happen to me in my MLB debut, that's unbelievable," Garcia said through an interpreter after Boston's 1-0 win — a victory that saw them jump New York in the AL Wild-Card standings. After stopping on the mound, the squirrel sped towards first baseman Ben Rice, went past […]
