Tennessee Titans: Winners and losers from Wild Card win over Patriots
Winner: Derrick Henry
Duh!
The King was out in full force Saturday night, and there were two storms named “Henry” hitting the New England area on this glorious night!
Derrick Henry was dominant from the jump and ripped off chunks of yards on the very first drive, which is something that was a theme the entire game. He even accounted for every yard of a 75-yard drive that ended with him finding pay dirt from one yard out.
Henry finished with 182 yards on 34 carries and the score, but he also had the second-most receiving yards on the team with 22. He literally carried this team on his back.
With how awful the Titans were through the air, there’s no telling what would have happened if Henry wasn’t able to play the way he did. And, of course, we’re going to give credit to the offensive line here after it opened up the holes necessary for Henry to go off.
Oh, and one more thing: PAY. THE. MAN.
