GREEN BAY — Matt LaFleur knows better than anyone what the Green Bay Packers defense will be up against Sunday night when the Tennessee Titans and 247-pound freight train/running back Derrick Henry come to Lambeau Field.
As the Titans’ offensive coordinator in 2018, the Packers coach saw Henry up close during his breakout season that year, when Henry ran for 1,059 yards and 12 touchdowns — including a 99-yarder — in the first of his three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.
Now, Henry enters Sunday night only 321 yards away from becoming the eighth back in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season.
