NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Running back Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans found a way to bring life to the home crowd at Nissan Stadium on Sunday.
Henry broke multiple tackles and rambled 29 yards in the second quarter before throwing 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Josh Whyle on the next possession to make it 24-3 right before halftime in Week 4.
The pass play had defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons start out at fullback and then line up as a tackle eligible. Henry took the handoff, ran to his right then threw a jump pass as he found Whyle. It was Henry’s fourth touchdown pass of his career.
Henry finished the half with 72 rushing yards on 10 carries and the two scores.
Just a beast. @KingHenry_2
