Derrick Henry broke all sorts of records during his 219-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Texans in Week 8.
- Henry’s four-straight 200-yard, two-touchdown performances versus Houston are the most against any single team in NFL history, breaking his previous record of three.
- Henry’s 75th career touchdown passes Eddie George for most in Titans history.
- Henry’s 1,254 career yards against the Texans is the most by any running back against the franchise in league history, surpassing Chris Johnson’s 1,116. Henry did it in one less game.
- Henry now has six career games with at least 200 yards and two scores, three more than any other back in NFL history. In fact, his four against the Texans are more than any back tallied in total during their respective careers.
The next major milestone for Henry to reach is the franchise’s all-time leader in rushing yards, a mark currently held by Eddie George (10,009).
After yesterday’s game, Henry has 7,552, which is 413 less than No. 3 on the list, CJ2K. Earl Campbell sits in front of Johnson with 8,574.
At his current pace (and not accounting for DHenber), Henry will rush for 1,079 more yards in the final 10 games, which would leave him with 1,834 for the season. If he hits that mark, he’ll finish the year 8,631 career yards, leaving him in second place on Tennessee’s all-time list.
At that point, Henry passing George would be a foregone conclusion, and such an accomplishment would already cement something many — myself included — already believe: Henry is the best running back in team history.
After that, all that would be left is to get him into Canton, a place he already deserves to be.
