NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry helped his team to an early 7-0 lead over the Seattle Seahawks with a touchdown pass to Chigoziem Okonkwo.

Henry took the handoff from quarterback Ryan Tannehill and lobbed a 12-yard pass for Okonkwo, who was running a crossing route. Okonkwo made the easy catch for his first touchdown reception of the season. It was Henry’s second TD pass of the season.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, including the playoffs, Henry’s five passing touchdowns are the most by any non-QB in the NFL since entering the league in 2016. Henry is also the first running back to throw multiple touchdown passes in a season since the Chargers’ LaDainian Tomlinson threw for two in 2006.
