Tennessee Titans' Derrick Henry throws 4th career touchdown pass

In Cleveland last week, faced with a third down deep in Browns territory with no timeouts left before halftime, the Titans' offense took a sack and ended up with no points.

Faced with a similar situation against the Bengals on Sunday at Nissan Stadium, the Titans brought in running back/quarterback Derrick Henry to get the job done.

Henry lined up in the Wildcat formation on third-and-goal from the Bengals' 2-yard line, drifted right after taking the snap and threw a touchdown pass to rookie tight end Josh Whyle to extend Tennessee's lead to 24-3 with 10 seconds left before halftime.

It was Henry's fourth touchdown pass of his career, and Whyle's first touchdown in the NFL.

Take a look, via FOX and the NFL:

The Titans scored three touchdowns on three straight possessions in the second quarter to turn a 3-3 game into a 24-3 lead. One of those touchdowns was on Henry's 29-yard run.

After gaining just 94 total yards last week, Tennessee gained 273 total yards in the first half against the Bengals. Henry had 72 rushing yards and the TD run in the first half against Cincinnati.
