New Orleans Saints vs. Tennessee Titans: Derrick Henry Edition

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana - On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints will face the Tennessee Titans, but they will also face Derrick Henry for the very first time. Although the Saints have played the Titans a couple of times throughout recent years, Henry was either injured or resting during those games. However, the Titans didn't need Henry in their last match up vs the Saints. In November of 2021, they were able to capture a two-point victory over the boys in black and gold.

The Saints know the test that they will face with Henry Sunday. Lead by Captain and star defensive end, Cam Jordan, the revamped defensive line on an already top-10 defense, believe they have everything they need to stop the Titan's star running back.

Head Coach, Dennis Allen, knows how important it is for the new look New Orleans Saints to get off to a fast start this season. Expectations are high for the organization, as the talent level has risen substantially over the last couple of years. He knows the pressure to produce and win is no longer in the future, but right now. While speaking with the media, Allen emphasized the confidence and swagger with this team. He also spoke on how much he trusts what he said was an amazing training camp for the Saints and believes it will carry over into the new season.
