How to stop Derrick Henry and other questions for Titans Wire in the NFL playoffs

I sit down with Crissy Froyd to get the inside scoop on the Tennessee Titans before the NFL playoff match against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Baltimore Ravens will take on the only playoff team they’ve yet to see in the regular season when they host the Tennessee Titans this week. While the Titans completely reshaped their season after changing from Marcus Mariota to Ryan Tannehill, there is so much more to Tennessee heading into the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

To get more insight on what Tennessee has going for them, I sat down with Titans Wire managing editor Crissy Froyd to pick her brain. I opened up with the question that likely has the biggest impact on whether Baltimore wins this game or not.

What’s the best way to limit Derrick Henry on the ground?

That’s going to be the toughest part of this matchup for the Ravens. Henry finished the season with the league’s rushing title, and the Patriots certainly didn’t have an answer for him last week. Not much of any team has and the Titans seem to be more successful with each carry they give the former Alabama standout rusher. He’s hard to tackle and it’s important to not let him get to the edge where he can outrun almost anyone, as Baltimore cornerback Marlon Humphrey mentioned this week. It’s going to take all 11, and stacked boxes may not be enough to limit the big back.
