Derrick Henry becomes eighth player in NFL history to Mut 21 coins rush for 2,000 yards in a single year

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has established himself as one of the best players in the NFL over the past few years, but during the regular-season finale against the Houston Texans this Sunday, he officially etched his name in NFL history. In the fourth quarter of Tennessee’s Week 17 matchup against Houston, Henry became the eighth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season, reaching the 2,000-yard mark on a second-and-5 carry that led to six yards using the Titans down 35-31.

The first player to rush for 2,000 yards in a single year was Buffalo Bills legend O.J. Simpson, who recorded 2,003 yards and 12 touchdowns during the 1973 campaign. The last player to join the record was Adrian Peterson, who rushed for 2,097 yards and 12 touchdowns with the Minnesota Vikings in 2012. Henry is actually the next Titan to join this exclusive club, as Chris Johnson rushed for 2,006 yards and 14 touchdowns with Tennessee back in 2009. The Titans are the only franchise to have two players accomplish this feat.

Henry came into Week 17 needing 223 rushing yards to reach 2,000 on the year. While that single-game aim might have seemed unlikely for most running backs, Henry is not the same creature. Not only does he average a whopping 118.5 yards per game, but he’s rushed for over 200 yards in a single game on four different occasions in his career in the regular season — such as earlier this year when the Titans hosted the Texans in Nashville.

Henry, who had been drafted by the Titans in the second round of this 2016 NFL Draft out of Alabama, has become the face of the franchise and has transported this organization to new heights. Only last year at the playoffs, he rushed for 182 yards against the New England Patriots and then 195 yards against the Baltimore Ravens to buy mut coins madden 21 take the Titans into the AFC Championship game. It was enough for Henry to secure a new extension this offseason, and he rewarded the Titans by putting up career-high numbers.
