Whether quarterbacked by Marcus Mariota or Ryan Tannehill, the Titans have limited pass play making potential on offense. So, they run with their freakishly talented bell cow running back Derrick Henry… A lot.
Henry averaged 20.2 carries per game on his way to the regular season rushing title. He also got 35 touches for 204 yards in the wild card upset of the Patriots. The Titans know what they do well and what they don’t do well. It has worked like a charm.
Hopefully, the Bengals coaching staff was watching. Whether it is Andy Dalton, Joe Burrow or someone else at quarterback in 2020, 2018 AFC rushing leader Joe Mixon is the best thing the offense will have going for it.
