Cris Collinsworth claims it’s ‘impossible’ to tackle Derrick Henry 1-on-1, Cooper DeJean begs to differ

The Ravens are taking on the Bills for the first Sunday Night Football matchup of the season, and Derrick Henry is predictably tearing up Buffalo’s run defense.

Don’t get me wrong, Henry is an absolute beast coming out of the backfield. I don’t think I’ve seen a college prospect more guaranteed to work out in the NFL with my own two eyes, and the fact that he’s still doing it at this level at 31 is insane.

But impossible to tackle one-on-one? Collinsworth is clearly forgetting a key piece of history.
