The Tennessee Titans had a horrible time in their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, they have something to celebrate on their way back home: Derrick Henry hit a milestone in his Titans career.
David Boclair, who covers the Titans for the TitanMaven network, highlighted that Henry just became the latest Titan to reach 25 rushing touchdowns for the franchise.
Henry is the seventh player in franchise history with at least 25 career rushing TDs. He is two behind Mike Rozier, another Heisman Trophy winner (1983), for sixth place on the team's career list. #Titans #TENvsJAX #TNF

He has been in the league for four years now. While his rookie season was nothing to write home about, he made 490 yards and five TDs. His numbers improved in 2017 where he got 744 rushing yards and another five TDs.
His numbers exploded in 2018 where he notched 1059 rushing yards and got 12 rushing TDs. One big highlight of his 2018 was the 99-yard rushing TD that he made against the Jacksonville Jaguars last season.
While he appreciates the moment, he claimed that he's already tired of seeing the footage over and over again. In fact, the Jaguars may have used it to remind the defense of what he's capable of doing. The defense responded by stopping them from doing anything.
However, he still managed to grab a rushing touchdown late in the game. Sure, it may have been too little, too late for the Titans. However, that just proves that he can still get his TDs even if he doesn't perform to the expected standards.
It's an impressive feat for the running back who is yet to reach his physical peak as a player. Fans can expect him to only develop as a running back in the coming years who may one day bring the Titans to the Super Bowl.
