Patriots-Titans key matchup: Dion Lewis vs. Derrick Henry

DION LEWIS vs. DERRICK HENRY

Why the Patriots have the advantage:

Lewis, who entered the NFL in 2011, just had more rushing yards (896) than the rest of his seasons combined. He had 1,110 yards from scrimmage and 10 total touchdowns, and he is running as confidently as ever. Plus, the Patriots use the pass to set up the run, while the Titans need to run to set up the passing game, which leads to more unpredictability for the hosts.

Why the Titans have the advantage:

Henry, who has inexplicably been DeMarco Murray’s co-pilot, was the man last week against the Chiefs and ripped off a career-high 23 carries for 156 yards and a touchdown.
