The days of the 2,000-yard running back were supposed to be done.
It’s a passing league. And 2,000 yards is rare anyway. Only seven players had ever done it before 2020. The last one was Adrian Peterson in 2012.
Henry needed 223 yards to get to 2,000 for the season, which seemed like a lot to ask. He had more than 200 before the third quarter was done. With a little less than eight minutes left in the game, Henry carries around right tackle for 6 yards to push his season total to 2,003. Henry rushed for 250 yards and the Titans won 41-38 on a last-second field goal to beat the Houston Texans and win the AFC South championship.
