Ravens superstar Derrick Henry scored a touchdown for the 10th consecutive game on Thursday… but the night may be remembered for a very different reason.
Baltimore ran out 35-34 winners over the Cincinnati Bengals in a thriller, but afterwards fans were instead reflecting on an awkward moment in the second half.
As Henry was tackled just short of the Bengals’ 25-yard line, he inadvertently had his pants pulled down – for the entire world to see.
It appeared the running back immediately sensed he was a little more exposed than usual, and he quickly attempted to grab his pants to put his buttocks away.
It was too late for social media not to notice, though, with thousands quickly discussing the ‘full moon in Baltimore’.

A series of memes quickly went viral, including various Spongebob Squarepants references.
One NFL fan wrote: ‘DERRICK HENRY JUST GOT PANSTED ON LIVE TV.’
Another added: ‘Did anyone else have Derrick Henry over 1.5 bare cheeks,’ while a third said: ‘Derrick Henry’s whole ass was just on my screen.’
In the game itself, the Ravens managed to overcome an incredible Ja’Marr Chase performance to steal the win and take their record to 7-3 for the season.

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 – just.
The game came down to the final seconds when the Bengals scored a touchdown and had the option to force 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 victory formation.
