The Tennessee Titans defied all odds and are now 60 minutes away from the Super Bowl. Behind this incredible playoff run is Derrick Henry, the incredible running back has put on incredible rushing performances to help the Titans beat the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens.
However, the man himself doesn't care about his personal accolades. The Titans' running back is only concerned with winning the Super Bowl, and he doesn't care if he has an incredible night or not.
“I am more happy that we won. The stats and all of that stuff is good. But we got the win, and we are advancing. That's the most important thing to me,” Henry said.
The accolade Henry was talking about is the fact that the Titans rusher managed to have three consecutive games where he finished with 180 rushing yards or more. It's an incredible feat that only he has achieved in the league's 100-year history.
The team's head coach pitched in with praises for his key playmaker.
“They handed me a sheet that said, ‘the only player in NFL history …' Whatever comes after that is pretty much self-explanatory when it's the only player in NFL history. It's fun to get to coach him,” Titans coach Mike Vrabel said.
The team will face either the AFC South rival Houston Texans or AFC West champion Kansas City Chiefs in the conference championship. While the identity of their next opponent is still unknown, there's only one certainty: Henry will continue to run hard and leave plenty of linebackers trailing in his path.
