Derrick Henry is the best running back in the National Football League right now.
It is virtually impossible for some teams to go into Gillete Stadium in the postseason and defeat Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, but Henry and the Tennessee Titans may have just ended a major dynasty. The former Alabama running back and 2015 Heisman Trophy winner is about silencing doubters, and he used this season to hush his biggest critics.
Henry set a franchise record on Saturday, as he had 182 yards rushing on 34 carries with one touchdown in the Titans’ 20-13 win over New England on Wild Card weekend.
