With all the concerns on offense, at least the Titans still have a superstar running back to lean on — and one that normally dominates the Jags.
Over 12 career games against Jacksonville, Henry is averaging 105.3 yards per game and has scored 15 touchdowns. He added to his impressive career numbers against the Jags in Week 14 with 121 yards and a touchdown.
However, it was actually a disappointing game for Henry overall. 96 of those 121 yards came in the first quarter, and the Alabama product also lost a pair of fumbles, which is where the concern for Henry comes in.
The Titans back has lost three fumbles in his last three games, including the two in Week 14. Tennessee can ill-afford to have anymore of that from Henry, who spoke about it on Wednesday.
Still, the 96 yards in a single quarter is a stark reminder that Henry is capable of taking games over, especially when he plays the Jags.
If Henry can have a vintage performance on Saturday night, take care of the football, and the passing attack can sufficiently complement him, the Titans will have a great chance to win.
