Derrick Henry will get questions about his age for the rest of his football career. However, for most of the Baltimore Ravens-Buffalo Bills showdown, those questions were silenced entirely as the nearly 32-year-old Henry ripped off big play after big play.

Of course, perhaps the biggest moment that many will remember was a costly fumble near the end of the game that allowed the Buffalo Bills to finish a 15-point comeback in prime time on "Sunday Night Football."

When asked what he had to say about Henry's fumble and what he said to the back, Lamar Jackson was amicable about the situation, according to an X post by Fox Sports: NFL on Monday.

"Told him, 'Let that go,'" Jackson said. "He done did enough for us. You scored like 50 yards one time, popped another one like he was just going off, but things happen. Unfortunately, that happened at the wrong time, but I'm not going to knock him for that. I fumbled in the playoffs. He knows it is what it is."

Before the fumble, Derrick Henry rushed 18 times for 169 yards and two touchdowns. His turnover ruined what had likely felt like sweet revenge after the Ravens succumbed 27-25 to the Bills in January.

Many called the game the MVP Bowl, and Jackson lost the MVP vote to Josh Allen not long after.

Derrick Henry, the Baltimore Ravens' signature ballcarrier, was asked in the locker room about the fumble after the game and spoke frankly about what happened:

"First of all, I gotta take care of the ball. Told my teammates, 'Put the loss on me.' I own it like a man. ... (Gotta) keep it high and tight and (got) lackidasical. They made a play. ... Put the loss on me. I take care of the ball; I feel like it would be a different situation.

"But as far as offense, we just gotta execute. ... We didn't do as well at the end. We gotta look at the film and correct it."

The Ravens will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 in what could be another bruising affair. The game will take places on Sunday, leaving little time to stew on the mistake.

Despite the fumble, Henry earned 9.4 yards per carry and put himself on pace to have another year well past 1,000 yards.
