Despite the Tennessee Titans’ loss, NFL fans were treated to one of their favorite moves by running back Derrick Henry in last night’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Titans are on a shambolic seven-game losing streak following their 16-20 loss at TIAA Bank Field. The host Jaguars are going into the playoffs as the divisional champions in the AFC South. The game didn’t deliver much of an intense contest, however, we got to experience another brutal Henry stiff arm.
How did Derrick Henry conjure the move?
The Titans are cruising to a 10-point lead in the second quarter, and the 29-year-old took a rush set up by quarterback Josh Dobbs. Rayshawn Jenkins of the Jaguars attempted to tackle the Heisman Trophy winner, but was brutally rejected by Henry’s signature stiff arm and went down on the field from right to left.

This is a common picture of a defender who went up against King Henry, just like Jenkins. The three-time pro bowler made his mark throughout his career by throwing violently with a strong, stiff arm. However, the Titans lost the match in the decisive last quarter.
What is the fan reaction to Derrick Henry’s stiff arm?
The NFL community went bonkers after watching this highlight reel over and over.
