Ravens superstar Derrick Henry extended his impressive streak by scoring a touchdown for the 10th consecutive game on Thursday night. However, despite his on-field heroics, the game is likely to be remembered for a much more awkward and unexpected moment involving the star running back.
Baltimore emerged victorious in a thrilling 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but it wasn’t just the nail-biting finish that had fans buzzing afterward. Instead, social media was ablaze with chatter about a humorous incident that took place in the second half involving Derrick Henry.
As Henry was tackled just shy of the Bengals’ 25-yard line, an awkward wardrobe malfunction occurred. During the tackle, Henry’s pants were pulled down, exposing his backside to the world on live television.
The running back seemed to sense immediately that he was more exposed than he should be, and he quickly scrambled to pull his pants back up. Unfortunately for Henry, the cameras were rolling, and social media users were quick to jump on the moment.
The sight of Henry’s accidental “full moon” quickly went viral, with fans joking about the unexpected display. Thousands of tweets and memes flooded social media, many referencing the “full moon in Baltimore.” Memes incorporating popular characters, including several featuring Spongebob Squarepants, spread like wildfire across the internet, capturing the lightheartedness of the moment.
One NFL fan on Twitter wrote, “DERRICK HENRY JUST GOT PANSTED ON LIVE TV,” while another joked, “Did anyone else have Derrick Henry over 1.5 bare cheeks?” A third amused viewer added, “Derrick Henry’s whole ass was just on my screen.” The humor surrounding the incident provided a lighter note in what was otherwise an intense game.
Despite the unintended exposure, Henry managed to shake off the embarrassment and continue to perform at a high level. His touchdown on the night marked an incredible 10-game streak of scoring, highlighting his importance to the Ravens’ offense and his consistency as one of the league’s elite running backs.
The game itself was an instant classic, with both teams battling fiercely until the very end. The Bengals were led by an outstanding performance from wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who put up an astonishing 264 receiving yards and scored three touchdowns. Chase’s heroics kept Cincinnati in the game and gave Baltimore’s defense all it could handle.

In the final moments, the Bengals managed to score a touchdown, bringing them within one point of tying the game. Head coach Zac Taylor faced a critical decision—kick the extra point to force overtime or attempt a two-point conversion to win it right then and there.
Taylor opted for the aggressive route, going for two in hopes of stealing a win on the road. However, the Bengals’ attempt fell short, and the Ravens managed to hold on for a hard-fought 35-34 victory.
With the win, the Ravens improved their record to 7-3 for the season, keeping them in a strong position within the AFC North.
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ offense showed resilience throughout the game, overcoming Chase’s incredible performance and the challenge posed by the Bengals.
After Cincinnati’s failed two-point conversion, Baltimore was able to seal the win by kneeling in the victory formation, much to the delight of the home crowd.
While the thrilling finish was a testament to the competitiveness of both teams, it was Derrick Henry’s unexpected wardrobe mishap that ended up being one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
Fans will remember this game not just for the narrow victory or Chase’s remarkable performance, but also for the light-hearted humor that came from Henry’s mishap—proving once again that in the world of live sports, anything can happen.
