As most Pittsburgh Steelers fans were aware, on Sunday night, Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry was playing with the NFL rushing title on the line. Henry needed 150 yards to surpass the 1,621 yards Buffalo Bills running back James Cook finished with earlier in the day.
Henry got off to a strong start, picking up 111 yards on the ground in the first half against the Steelers in the season finale. Of course, it didn’t last. The Steelers are in the playoffs, set to host the Houston Texans on Monday night.
Naturally, thanks were in order from the Bills’ franchise for giving the assist to Cook, who enjoyed a restful Sunday, carrying the rock just twice for 15 yards against the New York Jets in Week 18.
