The Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles both have an offensive identity. They both love to run the dang football.
Both teams find success with it as well.
The two will matchup at noon on Sunday. The Eagles may get back a player that can disrupt the Titans' plan on offense.
Rookie defensive tackle Jordan Davis could return from injury to try to help slow down Derrick Henry. Davis is a really impressive, young player on the interior.
He was undoubtedly the best run stopper in the previous NFL Draft, and his size is what stands out most. Davis is 6'6 and 335 pounds.
An absolute mauler upfront, Henry and the Titans will have to account for him.
It isn't known for sure that Davis will play against the Titans.
That being said, Tennessee needs to prepare as if he will because he is a game changer when it comes to run defense. If he doesn't play, they can make small adjustments.
They'll be better for it if they are ready for either option, though.
Derrick Henry is arguably the best runner in the NFL. He is certainly the most physically dominant. The matchup with Davis and the Eagles could be a really exciting one. Folks will want to tune in.
