Best memes and tweets reacting to Derrick Henry bowling over Chiefs defense
By Scott Rogust
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry ran all over the Kansas City Chiefs in the first half of Sunday Night Football.
The Tennessee Titans were set to be without quarterback Ryan Tannehill for the second-week due to an ankle injury. That meant the Titans were sending out rookie Malik Willis to make his second career start against the Kansas City Chiefs and their offense led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Luckily for the Titans, they still had running back Derrick Henry.
In the first half, Henry ran all over Kansas City’s defense, including a huge 56-yard run. Four plays later, Henry ran into the end zone for a one-yard touchdown, his second score of the first half.
Henry ran for 92 yards on nine carries, and his dominant runs caught the attention of Twitter users.

Henry’s first touchdown took place with the team down 9-0 following Mahomes’ seven-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mecole Hardman. Seven plays later, Henry took a direct snap and ran into the end zone for a four-yard touchdown.
With his two touchdowns in the first half, Henry officially passed Earl Campbell for the most rushing touchdowns in Titans/Houston Oilers franchise history.
When it comes to the Titans, when Henry gets rolling, he is nearly impossible for opposing defenses to stop. The Chiefs realized just that in the first half.
