The Tennessee Titans were able to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars at home with a final score of 20-42, but it wasn’t without a little help from their star running back, Derrick Henry.

The former Heisman winner absolutely dominated the Jaguars defense on the ground off of 19 carries which produced 159 yards and two touchdowns.

His numbers were not the only aspect of his performance in the contest that was impressive, he managed to score both of his touchdowns within 16 seconds of each other.

Yes, 16 seconds.

The Alabama product’s first touchdown was an incredible display of strength and speed, as he ran 74 yards into the end zone while constantly having to push off defenders attempting to tackle him.

Then, on the very next drive early in the second half, Henry was able to punch himself into the end zone for another touchdown to give Tennessee a comfortable lead with plenty of time left to do more damage.

This win over Jacksonville improves the Titans record to 6-5, which places them into second place in the AFC South.

After having a rough start to the season, the decision to stick with Ryan Tannehill over Marcus Mariota has seemingly paid off.

As long as Tannehill keeps up his high level of production and Henry continues his reign of terror on opposing defensive lines, they just might be able to sneak into the playoffs with a Wildcard spot.
