When you hold a running back who is averaging 117 yards per game and 4.8 yards per carry, with six rushing touchdowns in five games, you’re going to feel good coming out of a winning contest in which you limit him to 75 yards at 3.8 yards per rush—even if he did manage to get into the end zone, and only after a third-down stuff, made by a linebacker making his first start.
That is what the Pittsburgh Steelers managed against the Tennessee Titans’ Derrick Henry, who entered today’s game leading the NFL with 588 rushing yards, after totaling 1540 rushing yards last season.
