Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was asked after Sunday’s 27-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns if he could remember the last time he had a game like that one.

“Not really,” Henry said. “Not off the top of my head.”

It had been a while.

Against the Browns, the two-time NFL rushing champion ran for 20 yards on 11 carries.

Henry had not had fewer rushing yards in a game since Dec. 17, 2017, when he produced 19 on seven carries in a 25-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers while serving as DeMarco Murray’s backup.

The former Alabama All-American has only one game in his NFL career in which he had at least eight rushing attempts and produced fewer yards than he did on Sunday. On Oct. 22, 2017, Henry had 13 yards on 13 carries in a 12-9 victory over the Browns.

Henry didn’t have a reception against Cleveland on Sunday, so the game was the sixth in his eight NFL seasons in which he didn’t record more than 20 yards from scrimmage.

Henry also played only 18 offensive snaps against the Browns, his fewest since Nov. 11, 2018, in a 34-10 victory over the New England Patriots. Henry played 15 snaps in that game but still had 58 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries in that contest.

“I’m always motivated to play the next game,” Henry said this week. “Last weekend, it was rough. We didn’t have much success. …

“But at the end of the day, I’m always going to be locked in. I’m always going to be focused on my job and what I got to do and try to go out there and play my best. But did last weekend add a little more fuel? Definitely.”

In four games against the Bengals, including a playoff contest, Henry has run for 264 yards and two touchdowns on 66 carries and caught three passes for 79 yards.

In the Titans’ 20-16 loss to Cincinnati last season, Henry had the longest reception of his career – a 69-yard gain. On that play, Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt, a former Park Crossing High School standout, caused the Tennessee running back to fumble at the Cincinnati 6-yard line. Rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks recovered the loose football in the end zone for his first NFL touchdown.

“If you allow him to break through the line of scrimmage, it’s a real problem,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said this week. “He’s good behind the line of scrimmage as well. He’s hard to bring down. Once he gets moving, it’s like a freight train. You saw that last year. They hit the screen on us, and he got in the open field and had that explosive touchdown. He’s a great running back, and he poses a lot of challenges for the defense.”

During Tennessee’s 1-2 start, Henry had 163 yards and one touchdown on 51 carries and five receptions for 71 yards. Henry has 10 games in his career with more than 163 rushing yards.

“It takes all 11,” Henry said, “everybody focused, having the will to get off the line of scrimmage, create space, us finishing runs, guys going in there and digging out safeties and DBs. They’ve had success against us the last couple of games, and we just got to be better focused, play better, get into drives and everybody do what they’re supposed to.”
