Derrick Henry passes Earl Campbell on Titans’ all-time rushing yards list

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry moved one spot closer to being the team’s all-time leading rusher when he passed Houston Oilers great and Hall of Famer Earl Campbell for second on the list during the Week 4 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Henry was on fire in the first half, tallying 77 yards on 12 carries, which led to his topping Campbell’s 8,574 yards. Up next for Henry to surpass is Titans great, Eddie George, who has 10,009 yards.

Henry’s best play of the first half came on a strong 29-yard touchdown run that saw The King break three tackles en route to finding pay dirt.

He also got involved in the passing game, with Henry connecting with tight end Josh Whyle from the Kingcat formation near the goal line for six, which was Whyle’s first career touchdown.

Henry has long been making the case that he’s the franchise’s greatest running back. He’s now just one spot away from cementing that.
