How Titans' Derrick Henry can withstand a heavy workload to keep delivering
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- In 2003, running back Jamal Lewis piled up 387 carries during the regular season en route to 2,066 rushing yards and a Baltimore Ravens playoff berth.
"I can remember going into the playoff game that year,” Lewis said on ESPN Nashville's 102.5 The Game. “I was out of gas and hoped that the passing game would pick up. I had over 380 carries and felt every single one of those going into that game.”
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has had a similar season in 2020. He carried the ball 378 times, averaging 5.4 yards per attempt and finishing with 2,027 yards to become only the eighth player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 rushing yards in a season.
