The King. El Tracorcito. Derrick Henry.
Whatever you want to call him, he’s consistently been an important part of this Tennessee Titans offense, and he didn’t fail to make an impact in Sunday’s 42-36 win over the division rival Houston Texans.
We know Henry most for his powerful running style with his 6-foot-3, 247-pound frame, but the guy’s got speed. He showed that on his best play of the game, a 94-yard touchdown run that he clocked in at 21.6 mph on.
Here’s a look at some of Henry’s best plays of the day.

The former Alabama rusher finished out the game with a total of 212 rushing yards, averaging 9.6 yards per carry, with two touchdowns, including the game-winner.
Henry also added two receptions for 52 yards, and his 53-yard grab in overtime set the Titans up for the game-winning score.
So far this season, Henry totals 588 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns on 123 carries.
Henry and the rest of the Tennessee team had to fight until the end to take the 42-36 overtime win over a division rival, but pulled it out nevertheless, and move to a record of 5-0.
The Titans are set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers next on Sunday in Nissan Stadium at noon CT.
