Winner No. 2: Derrick Henry

If the Titans had any plans of getting some sort of hometown discount for Derrick Henry to stay in Nashville, those plans are probably going to fall through.

Henry had yet another monster game, this time rushing for 159 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries, including a 74-yard run that rivaled his 99-yard touchdown run last season against the Jaguars.

His two touchdown runs came on back to back plays from scrimmage, the second of which was a seven-yard touchdown run after a fumble recovery on the kickoff following his 74-yard run.

Henry is now just nine yards away from his second consecutive 1,000-yard season, and it is likely that if the Titans cannot re-sign him, he could go for big money on the open market.

The Titans would be wise to at least begin negotiations with him before the season is over to at least get it out of the way, but one thing is for sure: one way or another, Derrick Henry is going to be getting paid big money in 2020.
