Henry again carrying battered Titans into crucial stretch

Associated Press  

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Derrick Henry is carrying the Tennessee Titans yet again. He’s atop the league with 142 carries and seven touchdowns, and he scored three more in a 37-19 win in Jacksonville in an almost pedestrian performance for Henry with 29 carries for 130 yards. You see how he ran in the fourth quarter.” The Titans have had to lean on Henry with Vrabel busy piecing together lineups after learning who’s healthy enough to play each week. They host the Buffalo Bills next Monday night, and managing the week’s schedule to help players be as fresh as possible is near the top of Vrabel’s to-do list. Vrabel said the Titans missed 15 tackles, and Jaguars running back James Robinson gashed Tennessee for 149 yards, averaging 8.3 yards per carry.
