  • In what could be his final game for the Titans, Henry rushed for 153 yards and a touchdown, leading the Titans to a 28-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
  • Despite turning 30, an age at which most franchises choose not to shell out big bucks for running backs, Henry finished the season with 1,167 yards on the ground and 12 touchdowns.
  • Henry thanked Titans fans for the 'greatest eight years of my life' in a heartfelt goodbye message after the game, indicating his likely departure from the team.
