Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry absolutely dominated in the team’s 42-36 win over the Houston Texans.
The 6-foot-3, 247-pound back had quite the day, totaling 212 rushing yards (9.6 yards per carry) and two touchdowns, including the game-winner. He also added 52 yards on two catches.
For Henry, it was his third career game with 200 or more rushing yards and at least a pair of rushing touchdowns, tying him for the most by any back in NFL history, according to ESPN’s Turron Davenport.
Henry joins the company of Hall of Famers such as Jim Brown, Barry Sanders and LaDainian Tomlinson. Pretty impressive, if you ask us.

To make Henry’s performance even more impressive, he gained 94 of his 212 rushing yards on a fourth quarter touchdown scamper that helped breathe some life into a Titans team that couldn’t get anything going.
It will be interesting to see how Henry builds off this momentum as the Titans face the Pittsburgh Steelers’ elite run defense next on Sunday in Nissan Stadium at noon CT.
