9. Henry finishes with more than 200 scrimmage yards

Fresh off earning his first career rushing title, Derrick Henry hopes to keep the success on offense going in the playoffs by causing all sorts of problems for the New England Patriots.

Early on in the regular season, Henry and the Titans seemed to be heading towards a year of missing out on the playoffs for a second year in a row, but once Ryan Tannehill took over the starting job on offense, things quickly turned around in Tennessee.

One can only imagine where this Titans team would be if it weren’t for the presence of Tannehill and Henry, as these two will need to come through once again in New England just to have a fighting chance against the Patriots.

Throughout his NFL career, Henry has proven to be an absolute workhorse for Tennessee on offense, and this should be the approach once again on Saturday since the Patriots’ defense is one of the best in the league for a reason.

Finishing with more than 200 yards from scrimmage against a top defense in New England sounds like a stretch, but since the opportunities will be there for Henry, it’s certainly possible to help the Titans pull off the unthinkable in the opening round of the playoffs.
