Derrick Henry keeps Titans in playoff race with clutch game versus Giants

After recording a career performance against Jacksonville, Derrick Henry has the Titans’ offense rolling as he powered the franchise to a 17-0 win on Sunday over the New York Giants.

The third-year running back from the University of Alabama posted his second 100-yard outing of the season, totaling 170 yards with a pair of touchdowns on 33 carries. Henry continues to plow through wimpy tacklers and averaged 5.2 yards a carry. While his longest run went for 22 yards, the former second-round pick had eight attempts that went for first downs or scores.

In keeping the guarantee that he made to the press, head coach Mike Vrabel is seeing the formula of success for the Tennessee Titans to make the playoffs.
