Derrick Henry does everything for the Tennessee Titans, including playing quarterback.
He propelled Tennessee to a 27-17 victory on Thursday night over the Green Bay Packers. As a former University of Alabama running back, Henry totaled 136 yards (87 rushing, 45 receiving, and four passing) and two touchdowns. He tossed his first career touchdown pass in the third quarter on a 3-yard play to tight end Austin Hooper. Henry has the Titans in first place at 7-3 in the AFC South, and he also recorded his fourth rushing milestone. The 6-foot-3, 247-pounder is a 1,000-yard back once again.
