During his time as an AFC South rival with the Tennessee Titans, running back Derrick Henry posted four games with more than 200 rushing yards against the Houston Texans, and last season in his first appearance against Houston with the Baltimore Ravens, he ran for 147 yards in a 31-2 victory.
So even though Henry had only 42 yards on eight rushing attempts in the Ravens’ previous game, the Houston defense had stopping King Henry at the top of its to-do list for Sunday’s meeting with Baltimore.
The Texans limited Henry to 33 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries on Sunday as Houston posted a 44-10 victory.
“It meant everything,” Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. told reporters in the locker room after the game about putting the clamps on his fellow former Alabama All-American.
