Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is looking to accomplish the rare feat of rushing for 2,000 yards in a single season and he helped his cause with a 52-yard rushing touchdown against the Texans in Week 17.
Henry got some great blocks from his offensive line and then made a slick cutback move to bust through the hole en route to taking it to the house.
With the score, the Titans took a 10-3 lead over the Texans, and at the end of two quarters Tennessee has a 17-6 lead. Of course, a Titans win would lead to their securing the franchise’s first AFC South title since 2008.

At the half, Henry has 113 yards, which means he needs just 110 more to become the eighth player in NFL history to reach the 2,000-yard mark.
Henry has already secured the rushing title, and he’s the first player since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006-07 to win back-to-back rushing crowns.
