According to Next Gen Stats, Derrick Henry faced a stacked box on 6 of his 11 rushing attempts yesterday. On those carries he averaged -2.3 yards before contact. In case you aren’t good at math, that isn’t good. Why would the Tennessee Titans keep running into a stacked box?

I don’t have a good answer. You would think that after the first few times it happens, Ryan Tannehill would check to something different at the line. You have DeAndre Hopkins out there who is a master route runner. Why not check to something at the line and throw the ball to him in man coverage?
