Why did the Titans playing Murray in the second half? Rookie Derrick Henry scored his first career and was productive in the passing game with 65 total first half yards.
The Titans can't afford to lose Murray since he's been their best offensive player all season. Murray scored his 8th TD of the season in the second quarter on a great run, with help from QB Marcus Mariota.
Murray finished with his 4th 100-yard rushing game of the season, with 123 yards on 21 carries. Henry had his most productive NFL game rushing 16 times for 60 yards and a score, while adding four catches for 37 more yards.
Jacksonville scored two late TDs to make the 36-22 final score look like less of a blowout.
