Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel wore a hilarious face mask on Sunday that had both Titans and Crimson Tide fans both laughing, and for good reason.
Why do you ask?
Two reasons.
First off, the mask had to do with Derrick Henry.
And secondly, it’s true.
Just give the ball to Derrick Henry, and the Titans are destined for success.
Just look at his stats from last season.
Derrick Henry led the NFL with a career-best 1,540 rushing yards on 303 carries, and was the only running back in the NFL to average more than 100 rushing yards per game last season.
Henry also had 446 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on 83 carries during the playoffs.
But, that’s not all. Henry is ranked third in NFL history, averaging 126 yards rushing in the postseason.
Simply put, the Titans know after last season, he’s the game plan, and that’s exactly what Mike Vrabel’s mask says to do:

“Please give the ball to Derrick Henry.”
Enough said.
There’s a reason the Titans agreed with Henry for a four-year, $50 million deal.
He’s worth every single penny.
And he’s on a mission to prove just that.
So far in his NFL career, Henry has racked up over 3,800 yards rushing for 38 rushing touchdowns. He also has 578 receiving yards for another 3 touchdowns.
While at Alabama, the former Heisman trophy winner produced 3,591 yards and 42 touchdowns while racking up 285 receiving yards and three touchdowns through the air.
