Tennessee Titans star running back Derrick Henry ran for 250 yards in the Titans’ Week 17 victory over the Houston Texans.
Henry ends the season with a total of 2,027 rushing yards, making him only the eighth running back in the history of the NFL to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a single season.
This is also the second season in a row that Henry will win the rushing title. He had the most rushing yards in 2019 as well, rushing for 1,540 yards in just 15 games.
With the 41-38 win over the Texans on Sunday, the Titans have also clinched the AFC South. It’s the first time that they’ve finished the season as division champions since 2008. The Titans will face the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs next week.
Tennesee knocked Baltimore out of the playoffs last year on their way to the AFC Championship Game, which they lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champions Kansas City Chiefs.
The Titans will need Henry to continue his dominance in the playoffs in order to keep electric Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson off the field.
The star running back was recently rewarded for his play, signing a four-year contract with the Titans worth $50 million.
