When the Ravens faced off against Derrick Henry while a member of the Tennessee Titans, you knew it was going to be a slobber-knocker. Baltimore’s regularly vaunted run defense, combined with the intensity of the rivalry and of course Henry’s unique skillset, made for must-see TV. There were times when the Ravens had The King contained – until they didn’t. Until he broke off one of those explosive runs for a touchdown during which he practically dribbled Ravens defenders down the field on his path to pay dirt.
Because Henry helped the Titans snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, seemingly too often when playing against the Ravens, fans both feared and loathed him.
