Henry set a career high and led the Titans with 92 rushing yards on a team-high 14 carries. He excelled in the second half, picking up all but five of his rushing yards in the final two quarters. In the third quarter, Henry rumbled 17 yards for his first touchdown of the season. The second-round pick tallied five rushing touchdowns as a rookie in 2016.

The NFL's top performing quarterbacks and running backs count on fans to vote for the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week.

As part of a continued commitment by FedEx to serve local communities, a weekly $2,000 donation will be made in the name of both of the FedEx Air & Ground winners to the USO through FedEx Cares. The donation will be used to support USO programs that keep service members connected to family, home and country as they depart the military and find a new path in civilian life.
