In sizing up Derrick Henry, Ravens' Earl Thomas offers sharp critique of Patriots

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Expect the Baltimore Ravens to have a different strategy for stopping Derrick Henry.

Asked about the challenge of containing the Tennessee Titans’ bruising running back in Saturday’s AFC divisional-round game, Ravens safety Earl Thomas said they’ll first start by looking to tackle Henry — unlike the New England Patriots.

“I think [Titans quarterback Ryan] Tannehill threw probably like 17 times last game for like 75 yards in a playoff game and they still won. That’s a credit to how hard he’s running and their o-line,” Thomas said Tuesday, just two days after the Titans upset the defending champion Patriots, 20-13, in their wild-card game at Gillette Stadium.
