The Cincinnati Bengals’ run defense has improved in recent weeks. Cincinnati held Kareem Hunt and the Cleveland Browns to just 82 rushing yards last Sunday. But the tests keep on coming for the Bengals’ 28th ranked run defense. The NFL’s leading rusher is up next.
Derrick Henry, the reigning NFL rushing champion, leads the league in rushing yards again entering Week 8. The Tennessee Titans' downhill running back has compiled 663 rushing yards on 143 carries. His seven rushing touchdowns are tied for the most in the NFL.
Stopping Henry is priority No. 1 for the Bengals defense.
