Everybody knows that Titans running back Derrick Henry is one of the most impossible NFL players to tackle. Last season, per Pro Football Focus, Henry gained 1,605 yards after contact, which was more than any other running back gained in total. At 6-foot-3 and 247 pounds, Henry is a nightmare for any defender to tackle, especially a cornerback. Henry also has the completely awesome nickname “Tractorcito,” and Bills cornerback Josh Norman found out why when he tried to get to Henry with six minutes left in the first half of Tuesday’s Titans-Bills game.
Josh Norman might be the 2nd Bills player to ever retire at halftime

Yeouch. Never good when you get thrown aside like a five-pound weight. The good folks at PFF are referring to Vontae Davis, the former Bills cornerback who retired at halftime of Buffalo’s Week 2 game against the Chargers in 2018.

Not that Norman will take a similarly questionable route, but he’ll probably think twice before squaring off with Henry again.
