Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has established himself as among the best players in the NFL over the past few decades, but during the regular-season finale against the Houston Texans this Sundayhe formally etched his name in NFL history. In the fourth quarter of Tennessee's Week 17 matchup against Houston, Henry became just the eighth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in one season, reaching the 2,000-yard mark onto a second-and-5 carry that led to six yards using the Titans downward 35-31.
The first player to rush for 2,000 yards in single season was Buffalo Bills legend O.J. Simpson, who listed 2,003 yards and 12 touchdowns during the 1973 campaign. Henry is actually the next Titan to join this exclusive club, as Chris Johnson rushed for 2,006 yards and 14 touchdowns with Tennessee back in 2009. The Titans will be the only franchise to have two gamers accomplish this feat.
Henry came to Week 17 needing 223 rushing yards to reach 2,000 over the year. While that single-game aim may have seemed unlikely for most running backs, Henry is not the same creature. Not only does he average a whopping 118.5 yards per game, but he has rushed for over 200 yards in one match four distinct occasions in his career in the regular season -- such as earlier this season when the Titans hosted the Texans at Nashville.
Henry, who was drafted by the Titans in the next round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Alabama, has become the face of the franchise, and has transported this business to new heights. It was enough for Henry to procure a new extension this offseason, and he rewarded the Titans by placing up career-high numbers.
