Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey was rooting for the Tennessee Titans, and running back Derrick Henry had some fun with Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas after Saturday night’s win.

It’s no secret that Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey has a special connection with the Tennessee Titans.

The former Jacksonville Jaguars corner, who was traded to the Rams during the season, is a Tennessee native and was a Titans fan growing up.

And, during the offseason, he said one of his ideal landing spots would be playing for the Titans during an episode of the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast. At the time, he was still with Tennessee’s division rival in Jacksonville.

After Tennessee took Baltimore to the woodshed on Saturday night, Ramsey made it crystal clear who he was rooting for.

Ramsey will enter the fifth year of his rookie deal in 2020, but the sense is that the Rams will sign him to an extension at some point during the offseason.

Derrick Henry trolls Earl Thomas

Ravens safety Earl Thomas thought that having a different mindset than that of the New England Patriots in the Wild Card game would help he and his teammates tackle Derrick Henry in the Divisional Round, but 195 yards later, that proved to not be enough.

Henry ended up getting the last laugh after he stiff-armed Thomas into being his lead blocker on a long run.

During his post game interview, Henry made sure to shout Thomas out when he was leaving the field.

Henry not only finished with 195 yards on 30 carries, but he also threw a touchdown pass to Corey Davis.

On top of all that, Henry broke multiple playoff records and became the first player in NFL history to rush for 180 yards in any three-game span, whether it be regular season, postseason, or both.

Tennessee now advances to the AFC Championship Game, which will be played on Sunday, January 19th at 2:05 p.m. CST. The Titans will be the road team.
