Henry finished the game with 195 yards rushing, 7 yards receiving, and a 3 yard TD jump pass. Not only was it the most rushing yards in a game this season for Henry, but he also has more rushing yards over his 1st 4 career playoff games than any other player in NFL history.
DERRICK HENRY JUST THREW THE PERFECT JUMP PASS.

Simply put: The Titans have been an underdog this season, but they’re an underdog no more.
They just knocked off the top seeded Ravens on the road, and there’s no signs of them slowing down, especially Henry, who continues to get better every game.
The Titans will play in the AFC Championship game next Sunday.
