Definitely it was frustrating, said Henry, who came in not only leading the league with 1,010 yards rushing but third with 10 rushing touchdowns. Whenever you get down there you want to get points, and we just strung some plays together to get down there, just couldnt get in the Ilya Samsonov Jersey end zone.The Titans (7-4) had been coming off their best offensive performance this season, scoring a season-high 27 points in winning at Green Bay on Nov. 17.
