Very little has gone right for the New York Giants in their Week 1 regular season opener against the Tennessee Titans. They’ve been dominated in every facet of the game but linebacker Tae Crowder did provide a very rare moment.
Midway through the second quarter with the Titans driving, Crowder unloaded on running back Derrick Henry, who is known for abusing defenders.
The hit was so crushing it actually took Henry off of his feet, leaving him flat on his back.

Crowder, who was Mr. Irrelevant in the 2020 NFL draft, has played a significant role in each of the previous two seasons. Here in 2022, he’s taken over as the starter in place of Blake Martinez, who was unexpected released last week.
