Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry added another chapter to his illustrious career as a passer in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks.
In the second quarter with the Titans in the red zone, Tennessee drew up a play that had quarterback Ryan Tannehill hand it off to Henry, who then pulled up to throw a touchdown pass to tight end Chig Okonkwo.
Including playoffs, Henry has completed 8-of-10 passes for five scores during his career. It was his second touchdown pass of the season, which is the same amount Tannehill has.
Also, the score was Chig’s first of the season and he’s now 29 yards shy of his single-season career-high in receiving yards.

The touchdown pass gave Tennessee its first score and a 7-0 lead.
It has been a blast to watch the “Young Peyton Manning” throw touchdown passes since 2019. As sad as it is to think about, that could be the last one Henry throws in the two-tone blue.
