Derrick Henry sending Josh Norman flying, literally, was the stiff-arm heard ’round the world. It was without a doubt one of the most memorable plays of the entire 2020 NFL season and something Norman will have to live with for the rest of his life.
Violent and disrespectful are two words to describe what Henry did to Norman during the Titans’ 42-16 win over Buffalo in Week 5.

You can’t blame Norman for not wanting to talk about the play, we haven’t heard a word from him about the stiff-arm since it happened, but he finally decided to talk about it on a recent appearance on ‘The Rush with Jared Quay.’
“I’m not shying away from no one. I want to make that very clear, very, very clear,” Norman said. “That’s just the type of entertainment (fans) want to see. But to actually go out there and do that? Man, they going to scurry and tuck they tail and go hide somewhere. They ain’t trying to do that.”
You have to respect Norman’s comments here. He’s absolutely right, most people would run the other way if they saw the 6-foot-3, 250lb Henry running at them. Personally, I wouldn’t want to be within 10 yards of the man running at full speed. Norman knows he got got, but at least he tried to tackle the human bowling ball.
