Broncos should stack the box against Derrick Henry

This is a reality for any team that plays against the Titans as Derrick Henry can still be the most impactful running back in the NFL. But if you can shut him down, you can beat the Titans, regardless of who the quarterback is.

The Broncos need to load the box in this one and dare the Titans to throw the ball. They should have eight in the box for most of the game and could even move down another safety for added support.

On the season, Titans wide receivers have registered a total of 51 receptions. That is an average of 6.3 receptions per game by the entire receiving corps. The Broncos are the No. 1 defense in the league against the pass, giving up 165.8 yards per game.

The Broncos need to put their corners on an island in this one and make the Titans throw the ball, focusing on completely shutting Henry down.
