"In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood
Disguise fair nature with hard-favor'd rage."
—William Shakespeare, Henry V
Through the first six quarters of the 2021 season, Derrick Henry lay mostly modest, still, and humble. Then came halftime of Week 2, then came the blast of war, and then came a whole bucketful of hard favor'd rage. Just ask the Seahawks, who were trampled into the earth as Henry ran all over them, leading the Titans from a 24-9 halftime deficit to a 33-30 overtime win.
