What We Learned From Week 7 in the N.F.L.

King Henry’s court helped Tennessee take down Kansas City, Chicago’s aimlessness was on display again, and middling quarterback plans caught up to Denver and Washington.

Tennessee Titans Coach Mike Vrabel could not ignore the obvious one week ago. After yet another virtuoso performance by the 247-pound freight train that is Derrick Henry, bulldozing the Buffalo Bills on “Monday Night Football,” he admitted the team’s overreliance on its running back.

“We continue to jump on Derrick’s back,” Vrabel said, “and he’s willing and able to carry us.”

Yet we have also seen how far one player can take this Titans team: to the conference title game.
