HOUSTON -- The Tennessee Titans got a much-needed big play from running back Derrick Henry in the second quarter when he raced 29 yards for a touchdown against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Henry's touchdown run gave the Titans a 7-3 lead just before the two-minute warning. Rather than use his patent stiff arm, Henry showed a little wiggle to make Texans safety Jonathan Owens miss him in the open field. Henry then cut, then ran back and outran Houston's defense to the end zone. He topped off the play by going airborne as he crossed the goal line. The run to the end zone was Henry's 74th career touchdown, tying Eddie George for the most touchdowns scored in Titans/Houston Oilers franchise history, and his sixth of the season. Henry has eight rushing touchdowns in his past three games against the Texans. Henry went on to score again on the Titans' first drive of the third quarter, setting the franchise record. He capped off a nine-play, 65-yard drive with a 1-yard run.
