Browns’ Callaway capable, but seeks consistenc­y

-

Tony Dorsett’s NFL record with a 99-yard touchdown run — one of his four rushing TDs — and gained 238 yards on 17 carries as the host Tennessee Titans rolled past the Jacksonvil­le Jaguars 30-9 on Thursday.

Jacksonvil­le drove to first-and-goal at the Tennessee 3 before being stuffed on four straight plays, turning the ball over when running back Leonard Fournette was stopped at the 1.

On the next play, Henry took the handoff and broke through the left side. He stiffarmed his way past Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye at the Titans’ 20, threw linebacker Leon Jacobs to the ground at the Jacksonvil­le 30 then ran through the tackle attempt of linebacker Myles Jack before powering into the end zone for the 99-yard TD to make it 13-2 at 7:07 of the second quarter.

Henry also had TD runs of 3, 16 and 54 yards as the Titans pulled away. Cody Kessler threw for 240 yards and a TD but was sacked four times for the Jaguars, who rushed for just 60 yards.

Fired Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy bid farewell to the Packers players.

“Mike came by the office, I think Tuesday we all saw him as a staff, which was great,” interim coach Joe Philbin said before Thursday’s practice. “Then we talked, and he wanted an opportunit­y to speak with the team. I was 100 percent, fully supportive of that, and he did a fantastic job talking to the team.”

McCarthy, who was in his 13th season, was fired after Sunday’s home loss to Arizona as the Packers fell to 4-7-1.
