By the time I go public on this, Derrick Henry will probably have a defender on his back with his trademark stiff arm or truck move. You have every right to brag about a linebacker-sized running back in Sunday’s matchup.
Henry, on rare occasions, was put on his back with a heavy blow.
On the Tennessee Titans’ drive into the red zone in the second quarter, Henry made the mistake of taking his foot off and blocking traffic in front of him. This allowed Tek Lauder, the Giants’ middle linebacker, who is listed as two inches shorter and 12 pounds lighter than Henry, to hit his back with the type of force he’s used to.

The hit was a small consolation prize for the Giants, but the Giants gave up a field goal on their drive to lose 13–0 in the first half.
