The Tennessee Titans are facing the New England Patriots in the wild card round of the 2019 NFL Playoffs. Derrick Henry seemed to realize this was a must-win game, as he came out in the first half absolutely on fire.
Henry scored a touchdown with under one minute left in the first half. That meant he had a touchdown and over 100 rushing yards.
In case you already forgot, that was just in the first half.

The touchdown gave Tennessee a 14-13 lead at the end of the first half. That was a little surprising to a lot of people, as the Patriots were the heavy favorites, especially having the home field advantage.
Henry and the Titans were ready though, and ready to prove they are serious contenders. Not only that, but once again Henry is reminding people just how good he is.
In 2019, the running back actually led the NFL in rushing yards with 1,540 yards on 303 carries (5.1 yards per carry). He was also tied for the lead in rushing touchdowns with 16 (Aaron Jones of the Green Bay Packers also held that mark).
Derrick Henry came to play in the first round of the playoffs, and in the first half it served the Titans well. Can he keep it up in the second half and help his team pull off the massive upset victory? It wouldn't be all that surprising to see his legs keep moving.
