2. Seahawks vs. Titans predictions: Derrick Henry will not rush for 100 yards

The one player who is unlikely to have a big day is Derrick Henry. In Week 1, Derrick Henry was relatively shut down. He rushed for 58 yards on 17 carries, with the bulk of the yards coming in the second half once Arizona had a comfortable lead.

In the first half of the game, Henry had seven yards on nine carries. The Cardinals did a great job of fitting gaps, flying to the ball, and getting Derrick Henry down o first contact. It is likely that he sees another sub-100 yard day Sunday.

This week, it won’t be because of exceptional defensive play of the opponent. Although Seattle has some nice pieces in its defensive front, Henry’s lack of stats will be because of the Seahawks inability to defend the pass. If the Tennessee offense does wake up, most of the attack will be through the air.

Julio Jones and A.J. Brown will show how dangerous of a duo they really can be. Henry won’t have as much opportunity as he usually does to rack up the rushing yards. Henry may be called upon in the fourth quarter to help put the game away. That’s usually when he is the most dangerous anyway.
