Canal Street Chronicles on Derrick Henry

Henry's physical style and Week 1 dominance set up a favorable matchup against tired Saints run defense.

Derrick Henry is positioned for a strong Week 2 matchup against a Saints run defense that already struggled in Week 1, allowing Jahmyr Gibbs 156 yards and 2 touchdowns. Henry rushed for 144 yards and 3 touchdowns against Indianapolis in Week 1 and is eyeing a milestone: 97 or more yards would move him to ninth on the NFL's All-Time leading rusher list, passing Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson. The source emphasizes that Henry's physical, bruising running style is drastically different from Gibbs' shiftiness and will be an extremely taxing matchup for a Saints defense already exhausted after facing 33 rushing attempts against Detroit.
