Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry stumbled during a temper tantrum on the sideline after losing a critical fumble during Monday night's NFL game against Detroit.
It happened with about 8:30 remaining in the fourth quarter with the Lions leading 28-24. The Ravens were driving on offense with 1st and 10 on the Detroit 19-yard line. Quarterback Lamar Jackson handed the ball to Henry, who started running up the middle and veered left. The ball was punched out from behind by Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and recovered by Lions cornerback DJ Reed.

Henry was not happy with himself, as this was the third consecutive game this season where he has fumbled the ball. He let loose on the sideline by slamming his helmet down on the bench. Unfortunately, he slipped in the process and fell over onto the bench.,

We have seen some major temper tantrums in the NFL before, and this one by Henry was pretty mild by those standards. We certainly understand why Henry is frustrated. However, he needs to keep his cool, as tantrums like this accomplish nothing but going viral. It's still early in the season, so he has time to overcome this and get back on track.
Henry finished with 50 yards rushing on 12 carries. In the end, the Lions offense dominated with 224 yards rushing and won the game 38-30.
