Ravens fans stunned as Derrick Henry pulls down his pants on live TV: 'It's a full moon in Baltimore tonight'

Ravens superstar Derrick Henry scored a touchdown for the 10th straight game on Thursday … but the night may be remembered for an entirely different reason.

Baltimore edged the Cincinnati Bengals 35-34 in a thriller, but afterward fans instead reflected on an awkward second-half moment.

When Henry was tackled just short of the Bengals' 25-yard line, his pants were accidentally pulled down for all the world to see.

It seemed like the running back immediately sensed that he was a little more exposed than usual, and he quickly tried to grab his pants to tuck his buttocks away.

However, it was too late for social media not to notice, and thousands were quick to discuss the “full moon in Baltimore.”

A series of memes quickly went viral, including various references to Spongebob Squarepants.

One NFL fan wrote: “DERRICK HENRY JUST GOT PASTED ON LIVE TV.”

Another added: “Has anyone else had Derrick Henry more than 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 performance from Ja'Marr Chase to pick up the win and increase their record to 7-3 on the season.

Chase had three touchdowns and 264 yards in an incredible night, but it was Lamar Jackson and Co. who managed to come out on top – just.

The game ended in the final seconds when the Bengals scored a touchdown and had the opportunity to force overtime or play two to win the game.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor chose the latter, but the attempt failed and the Ravens were able to end the game in victory formation.
