The last thing any opposing fan should be doing is trolling Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry before a game, and a Seattle Seahawks fan found that out the hard way.
Before the Week 2 contest against the Titans, a Seahawks fan was pictured holding a sign that read “only 58 on 17 Henry’s old and tired,” which was in reference to Henry’s Week 1 performance against the Arizona Cardinals.
Not only did Henry show he’s not “old and tired,” he ended up dominating the Seahawks to the tune of 237 total yards (182 rushing) and three scores, leading the Titans to an improbable 33-30 comeback win in overtime.
This @Seahawks fan welcomed @KingHenry_2 and the @Titans onto the field at @lumenfield on Sunday. He wasn’t impressed with his stat line vs @AZCardinals.
He’s probably half right. Henry probably is tired after his 182-yard, 3 TD performance in Sunday’s win. 🏈 pic.twitter.com/fM9LCWnG8G

Admittedly, it was tough sledding for Henry early on, as he gained just 34 yards on the ground over the first two quarters with the Titans’ offense as a whole struggling to finish drives.
However, as is normally the case, Henry got stronger as the game went on, while the Seahawks’ defense slowly wore down. The Alabama product also notched a clutch 60-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that played a huge part in the Titans’ comeback victory.
Just what the doctor ordered 👨🏽⚕️ @KingHenry_2

Let this be a lesson to all fans out there: don’t troll The King, because chances are it’ll come back to bite you in the butt later on.
