Think this could be a good game will record this one for sure

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Titans should win this one easily. The Bengals got lucky last week.

The site below is incredibly slow due to all their ads loading (had to turn AdBlocker off in order to access it), but I thought this tidbit was interesting about Derrick Henry in high school:

As a ninth grader on varsity, his dominance was a cool story in northeast Florida. It grew to the greater Jacksonville area as a 10th grader. And by the time he was a junior, after he initially committed to Georgia instead of Alabama, his profile had skyrocketed to national circles. He never had fewer than 100 rushing yards in a game during his high school career. ​

​

Before facing Yulee, opposing players would chant “f–, Derrick Henry!” But after the game? "They’re running up and getting pictures taken with him,” said Ramsay.​

​

He carried the ball 46 times or 48 times or 50 times or 57 times for Yulee — and not for the stat padding. His team needed every one of those carries to compete against bigger schools. ​

​

Henry prepared his 6-foot-3 frame for the workload. He’d put an Ford F-150 pickup truck in neutral and push it around the track that circled the football field before practice every day. With his running backs coach, the late Pat Dunlap Sr., he'd visit the local Anytime Fitness to do cardio, go to practice, then go back to the gym for weights. ​

​

On the Monday before Henry broke Ken Hall’s 59-year-old national record for career rushing yards, Ramsay decided to give Henry the day off from practice. Within 40 minutes of practice starting, Henry took the field with a helmet and shoulder pads. ​

​

“I’m like, ‘Hey man, I thought I told you you didn’t have to practice today?’” said Ramsay. “He’s like, ‘Yeah, I got bored.’​

“He ended up going through the rest of the practice.”​

How Derrick Henry's injury put him on a mission to win Tennessee Titans' most elusive prize — the Super Bowl

Derrick Henry is expected to make his return from injury for the Tennessee Titans in Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Bengals.

Henry has a big steel plate in his foot...

Titans RB Derrick Henry to play vs. Bengals with metal plates in foot, shoe

Derrick Henry is back, officially activated and set to start for the Titans. Take out the hoopla of one of the NFL’s best players making a dramatic return for the playoffs, Ian Rapoport writes, and the King will be essentially back to normal. Well, except

JE11 had the same thing in 2015.

Interesting...I think Tennessee wins today but I'm not sure Henry is going to be as effective as everyone says. It's going to take him a while to get his footing back and 3 games may not be enough.

I hope you're right

 

[varjao]

I like Cinci chances here

 

[gitgronked82]

Go Titans. I want the winner of this game to knock off chiefs/bills and go to the Super Bowl. I think the titans have a better chance of that

 

[TheRainMaker]

Bengals with the upset special today. Titans stumbled their way into the #1 seed this year. They are the worst #1 seed I’ve seen since their 2008 team. That team was a joke.

Brilliant move as RBs burn out quickly but a post RB NFL career as a kicker is now in the cards. Strong leg!

 

[Joker]

so...seems most of the board wants Cincy.....must be the Lamar/Kyler/Dak effect at work...

 

[Patriot Missile]

I’m good with either Cinci or Titans going all the way. Not much to hate about either team.

 

[Kontradiction]

Cincy can’t stop the run, Derrick Henry is back, and the Tits ran for 1k anyway without him. Tits win by two scores unless Cincy can possess for long, sustained drives and score on every one of them.

Go Bungles

CIN was lucky against Raiders ?

 

[Vatahala]

I have to go with Burrow and the Bengals as he has been very good lately although Tannehill has completed 72% of his passes over the last 4 games.

 

[denverpatsfan]

CIN was lucky against Raiders ?

They ignored a whistle that should have stopped a scoring play. Lucky or the check cleared in time?? You tell me?
