NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry exploded for a franchise-record 238 yards and four touchdowns in a 30-9 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night. The previous record in Titans/Oilers history was set by Chris Johnson, who gained 228 yards on Nov. 1, 2009 against the Jaguars.

Henry's 99-yard touchdown run in the second quarter tied Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett for the longest run in NFL history. Dorsett had 16 rushes for 153 yards and a touchdown in the game in which he scored a 99-yard TD. The Cowboys lost that game 31-27, however.

Henry kept the game ball after the long run. That's something else that worked out better than it did for Dorsett.

"I'm keeping this ball," Henry said when informed that Dorsett no longer has the game ball from his record run. "I got to spend a lot of time with him [Tony Dorsett] when I was at the Heisman. He's a legend. It's cool to be in that company with Tony Dorsett."

Dorsett took to Twitter to share his appreciation for Henry's run.

Congrats to my @HeismanTrophy brother @KingHenry_2 on tying the 99 yard record tonight. That stiff arm! Rumble, young man, rumble! — Tony Dorsett (@Tony_Dorsett) December 7, 2018

It was the league's first 99-yard touchdown from scrimmage since Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz caught a 99-yard touchdown pass in Week 16 of the 2011 season against the Jets, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Henry's run is the longest in franchise history.

The long run almost didn't happen, because the original playcall was a quarterback sneak. Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota said the call had a built-in option to be either a quarterback sneak or an outside zone run to Henry. Fortunately for the Titans, Mariota went with the correct option, and Henry hit it as if his career depended on it.

"It was incredible. There is nothing like it," Mariota said. "It looked like he got bottled up, and then he found his way out of it. Once that guy gets into the open field, he's so hard to bring down. It's a treat to watch."

Henry totaled 81 yards after contact as he stiff-armed Jaguars linebacker Leon Jacobs and cornerback A.J. Bouye to the ground on the run. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, eight of the 11 Jaguars on the field got within 1.5 yards of Henry at some point during the run.

Living In A Fantasy World If you faced Derrick Henry in ESPN's fantasy football playoffs this week, condolences. Some 14.3 percent of teams started him, and reaped massive benefits. Here's a look at his night and some other out-of-the-blue fantasy playoff performances over the years: Derrick Henry, Titans (47.8 points vs. Jaguars): The 47.8 points are the most since Todd Gurley had 49.6 on Christmas Eve last season, and the most in non-PPR leagues since Le'Veon Bell's 47.8 vs. the Bills in December 2016.

Onterrio Smith, Vikings (40.3): Smith's two career 100-yard games both came during the 2003 fantasy playoffs, including a 146-yard, three-TD performance vs. the Chiefs in Week 16.

Drew Bennett, Titans (back-to-back 40-point games): Bennett scored a whopping 53.3 fantasy points in Week 14 and backed it up with 41 points in Week 15. However, he was a dud in Week 16, with just 4.6 points.

Billy Volek, Titans (back-to-back 35-point games): Volek led Bennett to fantasy glory with back-to-back 400-yard passing games. He never threw for more than 216 yards in a game after it.

Jerome Harrison, Browns (49.8): He ran for 286 yards, third most in NFL history, adding three TDs in 2009 vs. the Chiefs. That was more yards than he had in any other season in his career.

Adam Thielen, Vikings (44.6): He might be a household name now, but his 12-catch, 202-yard, two-TD performance against the Packers in 2016 was just his third career 100-yard game and his first with multiple TDs.

Added Henry. "It's so crazy because when we were in the huddle, they were like, 'You got to break it 99 yards.' My main focus was to get positive yards. I just saw it and I hit it. My stiff-arm was working. It started up front with those guys."

Before Thursday, Henry's longest run this season was only 16 yards. He had three touchdown runs of at least 16 yards Thursday.

Henry added another explosive run when he scooted 54 yards for his third score. According to Next Gen Stats, Henry reached 21.74 mph on that play, the fastest speed by a ball carrier on a touchdown run this season.

Henry is the first player with two 50-yard touchdown runs in the same game since Tampa Bay's Doug Martin in 2012 against the Raiders. Henry was started in only 14.3 percent of ESPN fantasy leagues.

Going into Thursday night's game, the 2015 Heisman Trophy winner out of Alabama led the Titans with 474 rushing yards in 128 carries -- an average of 3.7 yards per attempt -- and five touchdowns. His huge day in which he averaged 14 yards per carry will easily increase the pedestrian average he brought into Week 14.

Henry is the fifth player in franchise history to record 150 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns in a game, joining Eddie George (2000), Earl Campbell (1978), Sid Blanks (1964) and Billy Cannon (1961).

The Titans also suffered a loss on Henry's 99-yard score. Tight end Jonnu Smith sustained a knee injury and was taken to the locker room. He was subsequently ruled out for the game.
