Derrick Henry is back and he is back in the end zone.
The Tennessee Titans’ great running back returned from a foot injury that sidelined him for much of the season in the AFC Divisional Round game Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals/
A long pass from Ryan Tannehill to A.J. Brown helped the Titans’ drive considerably and Henry took it the final 3 yards for the touchdown.

Overall, the march was 9 plays for 84 yards.
In a decision that could come back to haunt, Mike Vrabel decided to go for a 2-point conversion after Cincinnati was called for 12 men on the field before the PAT.
He switched from going for the PAT to trying for two and the Bengals stopped Henry short of the goal line.
The touchdown, however, tied the game at 6 in the second quarter.
