Last season, the NFL world was abuzz with rumors of Derrick Henry potentially being traded to the Baltimore Ravens as they sought to bolster their roster for a Super Bowl run. However, Henry ultimately remained with the Tennessee Titans, leaving many to speculate on what could have been.
As fate would have it, the Ravens ended up facing the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, a game in which Henry couldn’t help but imagine himself playing in. Reflecting on the matchup, Henry remarked, “Hell yeah. I wish I could suit up that day watching the game. But now it’s my turn, so I’ve got to take advantage of it. It’s going to be a hell of a game. The Chiefs are always tough, they’re solid on all three teams. Got to be locked in this week to be able to execute on Thursday.”
Throughout his NFL career, Henry has had his fair share of battles against the Chiefs, particularly since Patrick Mahomes took over as the franchise’s signal caller. In four games against Kansas City, Henry has rushed for an impressive 458 yards and five touchdowns, showcasing his dominance on the field. Notably, Henry also faced the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game during the 2019 season, an experience that surely fuels his fire heading into their upcoming matchup.
For Henry and the Titans, the upcoming game against the Chiefs holds significant weight as they look to secure a victory and pave their own path to the Super Bowl. With a history of success against Kansas City, Henry will undoubtedly be a key player to watch as he aims to lead his team to victory. Stay tuned as the Titans and Chiefs prepare to face off in what is sure to be an intense and thrilling showdown on the gridiron.
