Derrick Henry will get his yards. He'll get 100, is likely to get 150, and might get 180+. But I don't think that will destroy us if our offense clicks. And I have faith in that, which is good.
Still, I can't shake the nagging feeling that Tannehill is actually going to be way more than we thought we were getting. Sort of like how the Patriots treated Foles in that Super Bowl when he ****ing went crazy.
Even if we get in a shootout, I like our chances of victory, because that's the kind of game we're most used to playing over these past two seasons.
Point I'm trying to make is I'm way more concerned about Tannehill picking us apart than Henry. Maybe having Henry is why Tannehill could have that kind of game or why he's way more effective now than he was with the Dolphins. But then that's going to turn it into one of those heart attack games where I'm either overjoyed or REALLY ****ing miserable at the end... like, more dejected than if we just got Henry'd all game.
Predicting Chiefs win it 39-35. Defense comes through with last-second heroics at the end when Tennessee ABSOLUTELY can not run the ball. The opposite outcome of our earlier meeting.

I think you are just having some pre-game jitters. Titans only scored 35 or more 3 times all year. All against bad defenses.
No way we give up 5 TD's at home to these guys.
10 points more like it.
