Derrick Henry proves his all-around supremacy with touchdown pass

Look, we didn’t need any further proof that Derrick Henry reigns supreme in the National Football League. The Tennessee Titans running back has been dominating defenses for the last few seasons to the tune of league-leading totals and a Hall of Fame trajectory, and the Kansas City Chiefs are simply the latest defensive unit to step up and try to take a crack at stopping or even slowing him down at all.

On Sunday, instead of doing his typical wrecking ball thing all the way down the field, he stopped short (insert Seinfeld joke here) of the goal line in order to allow the Titans to give him a highlight of a different sort. Henry was able to throw a touchdown pass on the first series against the Chiefs defense because, well, he simply chose to—and that’s the Derrick Henry difference.

Let’s also be clear about something else: Derrick Henry isn’t the only player made to look like an All-Pro against the Chiefs defense. Save for a nice full-game effort last week against the Washington Football Team, the Chiefs defense has been a dumpster fire all season long. Jalen Hurts looked like a Pro Bowler at quarterback even in a loss to the team back in Week 4, and the Chiefs are lucky to have the three wins they have thanks to the offense, because this defense isn’t beating anyone.

That said, we should still tip our hats collectively to Henry who is averaging 130 yards rushing this season and came into the game with a 260 yard lead in the league’s rushing title race—an advantage after six weeks that should honestly be impossible.

There’s really no stopping Derrick Henry.
