Chiefs’ Anthony Hitchens Thinks He Has The Perfect Strategy For Tackling Derrick Henry

Through two games in the postseason, Derrick Henry has been quite unstoppable as he had rushed for 182 yards on the Patriots, 195 yards on the Ravens to give him a grand total of 377 rushing yards and put his squad within one more victory of qualifying for the Super Bowl.

So how do the Kansas City Chiefs plan to defend the the 26-year-old rushing chmp of 2019?

Anthony Hitchens said on Wednesday that they play to go low on Henry by hitting his legs.

The #Chiefs defensive game plan is full of low blows for #Titans RB Derrick Henry. “You’ve got to take his legs out,’’ LB Anthony Hitchens said. “Hit his thighs and his legs. Chop him down. You tackle him high, he tends to carry you for about five more yards. So hit him low.’’

That is quite the strategy. Everybody has a plan until they see a 250-pound man running at them. Just ask Earl Thomas of the Baltimore Ravens!
