RUNNING GAME RUSH DEFENSE

Running back Derrick Henry ran over the Ravens for 195 yards in Tennessee’s playoff victory, and he’s maintained his elite performance this season with

946 yards and eight touchdowns in nine games. Henry ran for 103 yards on 19 carries in the Titans’ Thursday night loss to the Colts. He’ll be featured against a Ravens defensive front that struggled to stop Patriots running back Damien Harris.

The Titans allowed the Colts to rush for 133 yards in that Thursday loss and have been mediocre, allowing opponents to average 4.5 yards per carry. ILB Jayon Brown leads the team with 73 tackles, and DE Jadeveon Clowney

(who did not practice Wednesday because of a knee injury) has always excelled as an edge setter.

The Ravens have not run with their usual efficiency over the last two weeks, totaling a pedestrian 225 yards on 66 attempts against the Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. They’ve fallen to second in rushing and fifth in yards per carry after leading the league in both last season. Running back Mark Ingram II returned from an ankle injury against the Patriots but gained just 5 yards on five carries.

EDGE

The Ravens were disgusted with themselves after allowing 173 rushing yards to a Patriots offense that didn’t look to do much else. They missed DE Calais Campbell, who was inactive with a calf strain, and NT Brandon Williams, who left early with an ankle injury. The Titans will use Henry to test this wounded defensive front. DE Derek Wolfe was a bright spot with seven tackles against the Patriots.
