It has been awhile since we’ve seen Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry break a long touchdown run with how the offensive line has played this season, but he finally got loose in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Granted, it wasn’t one of Henry’s monster touchdown runs that we’ve seen in the past, but it was about as tough a run as we’ve seen from him this season.
Buy Titans TicketsWith the Titans up 10-3 in the second quarter, Henry had his number called on first down and turned what first looked like it would be a short run to a 29-yard touchdown by breaking three tackles before eventually finding the open field for the score.

The 29-yard scamper was Henry’s longest run of the season, and it was his first touchdown since Week 2. With the score, the Titans took a 17-3 lead over Cincinnati in what was an impressive first half for Tennessee’s offense.
Here’s how social media reacted.
THE KIIIIIIIIIIIIING. HE'S LOOSE! TOUCHDOWN TITANS!

Wow. That was a run by Derrick Henry. He broke at least four tackles en route to the end zone for the TD. The crowd at Nissan Stadium went crazy. This offense is humming now. HEN-RY, HEN-RY chants from the crowd.

Derrick Henry is still King Henry.
Titans really need to figure out how to get him on the field more. Can't just have him playing 35% of the snapspic.twitter.com/Q1wCnJgifk
