Derrick Henry made history Sunday becoming just the eighth different player in NFL history to rush for 2,000+ yards in a single regular season.
The 27-year-old from Yulee, FL romped for 250 yards to led the Tennessee Titans to a 41-38 win over the Houston Texans.
Henry becomes the second Titan to rush for 2,000+ yards in a season after burner Chris Johnson ran for 2,006 in 2009 (Earl Campbell reached that mark with a playoff game in 1980).
Henry’s also the first to do it since Adrian Peterson in 2012.
