“I believe it’s self-explanatory,” Jackson said regarding Henry’s playoff impact. “He is just a work horse. That guy is just that guy. I don’t know. I can’t find the words to say, man. I believe everyone sees it. I can just hand the ball off, [and he gets] 10 yards, 20 yards, 30 yards, and I’m just chilling. Now, when they’re attacking him, I go, and it’s like I’m fresh. It’s just making my job a lot easier. We just piggyback off each other.”

Although Henry certainly led the charge, along the way totaling an impressive 7.2 yards per carry, dismantling Pittsburgh was very much a tag-team effort as Jackson alluded to.

The QB, who threw sparingly but efficiently with 175 yards and two TDs on 16-of-21 passing, added another 15 totes and 81 yards to the team’s rushing total, constantly extending plays and drives.

At home, in the cold, Baltimore ran the ball on 24 of its first 32 plays, including for the entirety of a 13-play touchdown drive that began on its own 15-yard line.

With the defense chipping in, especially early on when the unit allowed the Steelers just 49 first-half yards, Henry and Jackson simply demoralized their opponent, who entered the postseason ranked sixth against the run.

Baltimore, unsurprisingly first in the category on offense, finished with 299 rushing yards, a franchise playoff record and more than the total yards (280) the Steelers managed by game’s end.
