Derrick Henry, known for his strong performances against the Texans, had a dismal game, with negative rushing yards on multiple carries. He finished with only 9 rushing yards, a significant departure from his usual dominance. Despite the poor showing, the Titans' offensive line also struggled, contributing to Henry's challenges. This performance marked a historic low for Henry, who had never before been held to under 10 rushing yards with more than six carries. The Texans' defense effectively shut down Henry, with statistics reflecting his worst career rushing average per attempt. The game raised questions about Henry's future with the team, as it potentially marked the end of his career with the Titans.
While we know the #Titans' offensive line was very poor against the Texans and of little help to Derrick Henry as his 16 carries produced 9 yards... @NextGenStats says he ran for negative-23 yards "over" expected. Meaning NextGen thought his 16 carries should have produced 32… https://t.co/1bclekPOBk
Derrick Henry was first contacted at or behind the line of scrimmage on 9 of his 16 rushes. He averaged -0.6 yards per rush BEFORE contact, his 2nd worst in a game with 10+ rushes (-0.9 in 2017 at CLE). @ESPNStatsInfo

Derrick Henry rushed for nine yards today. It’s the first time in his career he's been held under 10 rushing yards when he's carried the ball more than six times. His 0.56 yards per rush attempt is also a career worst. These stats came vs. a Texans team he had OWNED.
