Henry lost negative 19.2 EPA on carries this season (sixth-most EPA lost in NFL) and fumbled in Week 6 Ravens-Browns game, a play that set up Cleveland's only touchdown and resulted in negative 5.6 EPA and negative 14.2% win probability swing. Speaker notes the Ravens are 0-5 when Henry loses a fumble, with half of those losses coming against division opponents.
