WATCH: Derrick Henry scores impressive, game-winning OT touchdown

Former Alabama running back Derrick Henry is still shwoing out at the professional level, this time with a massive TD in overtime to end …

Former Alabama Heisman-winning running back, Derrick Henry had quite the last two seasons. In 2019, he was the NFL rushing yards leader, lead the league in touchdowns and was named to the Pro Bowl.

In today’s contest against the Baltimore Ravens, a rematch of the 2019 AFC Divisional playoff round, the Tennessee Titans relied on Henry to lead them to the win.

With the game tied at 24, the two teams went into overtime. Henry is apparently not a big fan of playing beyond four quarters, becaus he broke off on a 29-yard run for the game-winning touchdown.

Henry finished the day with 28 carries for 133 yards and the one touchdown, which just so happened to be touchdown No. 50 in his career.

Over the past four seasons, he has missed only five field goal attempts when you exclude blocked kicks — and only one (43 yards) has come from inside 50 yards. He has also recorded an NFL-record seven career games with multiple field goals over 50 yards. — Jamison Hensley

What they are saying: “He’s the GOAT. He has got that golden leg. I’ve got all the faith in him. I’m on the sideline praying. At the same time, I’m like, ‘I know Tuck can do it.'” — Lamar Jackson, Ravens quarterback
