A decisive moment occurred in the fourth quarter as Henry fumbled the ball with the Ravens trailing 28-24. The superstar running back got the ball punched out of his hands by Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson. Detroit went on to convert the turnover and scored via a field goal to secure the victory.

Henry issued a heartfelt apology to his teammates and the fans after the game.

"I am at a loss for words," Henry said. 'This sucks right now. I ain't going to lie to y'all. It is just crazy. Three fumbles (in three games) straight. I am trying every day to fix the problem that just keeps occurring.

"But as long as we stay focused and everybody else will stay focused. We will try to turn this thing around. I know we will."

What's next for Derrick Henry and the Ravens?

Next up for Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens is an away matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 1-2 Ravens will look to get back on track at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

The Chiefs have struggled with offensive issues, and they'll have their work cut out to contain Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. Past games between the two teams have been marked by fireworks due to the level of talent on both rosters.

Ravens fans will hope that Henry can recover from his ball security issues in time for the crunch matchup against Patrick Mahomes and Co. Despite Kansas City's offensive struggles this season, it still has one of the best defenses in the NFL.
