A look at the wild week 14 NFL winners and losers. Who finds themselves in the winner’s column, and who finds them self as a loser?

Derrick Henry: Winner

For as boring as Thursday night games have become, Henry gave us all a reason to stay tuned in. The Titans remain in the playoff hunt, and desperately needed a win against the Jaguars to stay in the conversation of a wildcard team.

Derrick Henry single handedly defeated the Jaguars’ defense. The former Heisman trophy winner flashed his Alabama form, going for over 100 yards for the first time all season. It was also the first time he has ever recorded over 200 yards in his NFL career. It was also the most touchdowns he has ever recorded in one game as a pro.

Henry was simply dominant, rushing for 238 yards on just 17 carries. His 14 yards per carry were helped by a 99 yard touchdown run. On that run alone Henry broke multiple tackles, throwing Jaguars defenders to the ground as he went the length of the field. It was an historic performance for Henry, as he helped the Titans advance to 7-6 and remain in the hunt.
