The NFL failed badly while trying to promote Titans RB Derrick Henry

Plenty of Tennessee Titans fans feel like the franchise doesn't receive the proper amount of attention from the national media.
It seems like anytime the Titans are in a big game — the 2019 Wild Card playoff game against the New England Patriots for example — the storyline is focused on the opposing team instead of Tennessee.
And the latest slip-up from the NFL won't do anything to change the perception that the Titans are routinely slighted by the national media.
The NFL's official Twitter account attempted to show Titans running back Derrick Henry some love on Wednesday by tweeting a highlight reel that showed the former Alabama star rushing for a touchdown and also throwing a touchdown pass.
The only problem with the tweet is that the NFL's Twitter account spelled Henry's name wrong. Not once, but twice.
The tweet was up for over six hours before it was deleted.
Taylor Lewan, Henry's former teammate in Nashville, called attention to the error, which likely led to the tweet's deletion.
There's no doubt that the error was an honest mistake. But considering Henry is one of the sport's best players, it's embarrassing that the NFL's official Twitter account couldn't get it right.
Ultimately, it's just more proof that the Titans never get the respect they deserve.
