After a 31-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14, the Tennessee Titans are getting plenty of recognition from Pro Football Focus.
In PFF’s latest Team of the Week, three Titans players made the cut: quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Derrick Henry, and wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Henry, in particular, was named the outlet’s “Offensive Player of the Week” after posting a grade of 92.7, which was the highest of any running back in any single game this season.
And, oh yeah, he dropped 215 yards and two touchdowns on the Jags.
Here’s what PFF’s Anthony Treash had to say about The King:
Henry’s 92.7 PFF grade against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14 was the highest single-game mark we have given to a running back through 14 weeks of the 2020 NFL season.
Before this week, the 2015 Heisman Trophy winner had never recorded more than two 20-plus-yard runs in a single game — he ripped off four on Sunday against Jacksonville, something only four other running backs have done in a single game over the last five years.
What’s interesting is that Tennessee — an outside-zone-heavy team — ran more man concepts than they have all year, and that’s where Henry really earned his cheddar. He was tasked with eight such carries and picked up 125 yards and a touchdown on those rush attempts.
Henry (90.8) has now leapfrogged Dalvin Cook (86.8) as the NFL’s highest-graded ball carrier, and Tennessee now has the league’s most efficient RB backfield in the NFL.
While Henry no doubt stole the show on Sunday, the Titans’ passing attack helped put the offense over the top with strong play from Tannehill and Brown.
Tannehill completed 19-of-24 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns, but most importantly played mistake-free football. Brown was the Titans’ leading pass-catcher, reeling in seven of nine targets for 112 yards and one touchdown, which came on a ridiculous one-handed catch.
