Ravens fans stunned as Derrick Henry has his pants pulled down on live TV: ‘Full moon in Baltimore tonight’
Ravens superstar Derrick Henry scored a touchdown for the tenth straight game on Thursday… but the night may be remembered for a completely different reason.
Baltimore ran out a 35-34 winner over the Cincinnati Bengals in a thriller, but then fans reflected on an awkward moment in the second half.
When Henry was tackled just before the Bengals’ 25-yard line, he accidentally had his pants pulled down – for all the world to see.
It seemed that the running back immediately felt that he was a little more exposed than usual, and he quickly tried to reach for his pants to tuck his buttocks away.
However, it was too late for social media to not notice, as thousands of people quickly discussed the “full moon in Baltimore.”

A series of memes quickly went viral, including several references to Spongebob Squarepants.
An NFL fan wrote, “DERRICK HENRY JUST GET PANSTED ON LIVE TV.”
Another added: “Has anyone else had Derrick Henry bare cheeks more than a time and a half,” while a third said: “Derrick Henry’s entire ass was just on my screen.”
In the game itself, the Ravens were able to overcome an incredible performance from Ja’Marr Chase, stealing the win and bringing their record for the season to 7-3.

Chase had three touchdowns and 264 receiving yards on an incredible night, but it was Lamar Jackson and Co who managed to come out on top.
The game came down to the final seconds as the Bengals scored a touchdown and had the option of forcing overtime, or going for two to win the game.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor opted for the latter, but the attempt failed and the Ravens were able to finish the game in a winning formation.
