Derrick Henry's monster performance Sunday in Houston was nothing short of incredible. The Tennessee Titans running back carried his team to a fifth straight victory behind 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns while breaking records in the process.

No Ryan Tannehill and only one pass attempt from rookie QB Malik Willis in the entire second half and still no problems for the Titans and Henry. That's impressive.

The most impressive part of Henry's historic day, however, may be found in the details of what the Texans did against him defensively.

Everybody and their mother knew the Titans were likely handing the ball to 22 on every play, and the Houston defense was no exception. The Texans stacked the box (8+ defenders) on 18 of Henry's 32 carries on Sunday, making a conscious effort to limit his production and force Malik Willis to beat them.

That still wasn't enough to contain him. Henry had 118 yards and one of his touchdowns against stacked box defenses alone. That's the fifth time he's gone over 100 yards rushing against stacked boxes in his career, per Next Gen Stats.

Derrick Henry gained 118 yards on 18 carries against stacked boxes (8+ defenders), the most by any player in a game since Henry in Week 9, 2020 (also against the Texans).

Since entering the league in 2016, Henry has more carries (568), rushing yards (2,646), and rushing touchdowns (45) against stacked boxes than anybody in the NFL. It's not really all that close, either.

You can’t stop Derrick Henry. You can only try to contain him. Sometimes, even that doesn’t work.
