Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry had a quiet first half in the Week 5 game against the Buffalo Bills in terms of production, but he made some noise with a vicious stiff-arm against cornerback Josh Norman.
On a second-down carry in the second quarter, Henry broke the run to the outside where he met Norman and promptly tossed him like a rag doll. It was easily one of the meanest, most vicious stiff-arms you will ever see.
And, as you’d expect, it sent Twitter into a frenzy. Before we get to the reaction, here’s a look at the play in question.
Derrick Henry HOLY stiff arm😤😤😤

Despite having to overcome a COVID-19 outbreak and just one real practice in over two weeks, the Titans came out firing in the first half and took a 21-10 lead into halftime.
And Henry added insult to injury by disposing of Norman in the process.
