The Tennessee Titans remain undefeated on the season after beating the Houston Texans in overtime 42-36.
Once again, the team’s offense was led by running back Derrick Henry, who has proven to be one of the most dominant offensive forces in the NFL.
Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill did his part as well, completing 30 of 41 passes for 364 yards and four touchdowns. But “King Henry” set the tone all night, looking unstoppable at times.
The 6’3”, 247-pound running back finished with 212 yards rushing and 52 yards receiving, becoming only the fourth player in NFL history to rush for 200 yards in back-to-back games against one opponent. He also became the only running back in NFL history to register 200-yard rushing games in three consecutive seasons.
He is also only the second player to tally more than 250 scrimmage yards and two TDs in a game over the last three seasons.
The Titans made a wise investment in their star running back this summer, signing Henry to a four-year deal worth $50 million.
Tennessee will face their biggest challenge yet next week in a clash with another undefeated team that boasts one of the league’s best defenses, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
