Derrick Henry does it all, throwing for a TD against Kansas City

NFL opponents have seen enough of Derrick Henry running into the end zone. So, to switch things up a bit, the Tennessee Titans running back threw a touchdown pass on Sunday.
Henry lined up at quarterback, faked a possible off-tackle run, then completed a touchdown pass to tight end MyCole Pruitt to give the Titans an early lead over the Kansas City Chiefs in Nashville.
The Titans and Henry did a fantastic job of making the play look like a running play, which Henry has turned into long rushing plays before in his career. Probably expecting a running play, the Chiefs seemed caught unaware.
Here is the video of the sneaky play:

Henry, who is nicknamed “The King,” came into the game with 783 yards and 10 touchdowns on 162 yards.
Now, he has a touchdown pass to add to those impressive stats, too.
