Winner No. 1: Derrick Henry

Derrick Henry came into the game 166 yards behind Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb in rushing yards, and needed 171 to crack 1,500 yards on the season.

He crushed both marks on Sunday.

Henry finished off his amazing 2019 campaign with one of the best performances of his career, and is your 2019 rushing champion.

He finished with 211 yards and three touchdowns on a season-high 32 carries that capped off with an emphatic 53-yard touchdown run to put the game completely out of reach.

That carry was also the one to give Henry the rushing title, as he finished with 1,540 yards and 16 rushing touchdowns on the season.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Henry needs to be re-signed; I don’t care what the cost is. Henry has proven to be too valuable for this team to allow him to leave in the open market.
