Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry went on another monster tear in their Week 14 encounter against the Jacksonville Jaguars. More than tallying huge numbers and breaking records, the former Alabama standout was just glad to help his team bounce back from a disappointing loss against the Cleveland Browns last weekend.
“If we could go 4-0 these last (four) weeks I’d be most happy,” Henry said via The Athletic. “Like I said earlier this week, I don’t care about stats. Last week I was really pissed off about the way I played (against Cleveland), thought I played poorly and I didn’t do my job to help my team, so I’m still pissed off about last week. I just want to do my job to help my team and do anything I can to help us win. Stats really don’t matter.”
The Titans have imposed their will once again, being led by Henry who ran wild with 215 rushing yards on 26 carries and two touchdowns. Apart from the team's running game, wide receiver A.J. Brown also made noise with 112 receiving yards on seven catches and a touchdown scored, followed by tight end Geoff Swaim who contributed 34 yards on three touches and a score on the endzone.
Two scoreless quarters dug the Jaguars in a deep hole come the final frame as the Titans escaped with a lopsided 31-10 victory in Northeastern Florida. The Titans ultimately tightened their grip with a 9-4 record and are looking to regain momentum heading into the playoffs as they aim to close out the remainder of the season with strong victories.
Derrick Henry and the rest of the team will have a good opportunity to extend their winning streak with a triumph against a lowly team in the Detroit Lions in Week 15.
