Bengals' Derrick Henry-stopper, DJ Reader, an unsing hero on D

CINCINNATI – One can forgive defensive tackle DJ Reader for not remembering the play. He was barely involved.

In a Week 13 game in 2017 between the Tennessee Titans and the Houston Texans, the Titans stacked their line of scrimmage to the right side. After the snap, running back Derrick Henry took a quick step right before darting left, against the momentum of the defense. Henry took the ball to the edge — far away from Reader — and all the way to the end zone for a 75-yard touchdown.
