NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans are preparing for arguably the biggest game of their season and will likely rely on their dynamic running back, Dion Lewis, when they travel to face the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football in Week 12.
Though Lewis touched the ball only 11 times in the Titans' 38-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, he has taken over as Tennessee's lead back, relegating Derrick Henry to a complementary role.
The thought of a 5-foot-8, 195-pound running back being the feature piece in an NFL team's rushing attack goes against the common belief that bigger is better at his position.
