SEATTLE – Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans found a way to silence the notorious noise that hadn’t been heard for nearly two years at the home of the Seattle Seahawks.

The Titans leaned on the NFL’s bask-to-back rushing champion and staged the kind of comeback they haven’t pulled off in a regular-season game in more than a decade.

Henry ran for 182 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns, Randy Bullock hit a 36-yard field goal midway through overtime and Tennessee rallied from a 14-point deficit Sunday to stun the Seahawks 33-30.

“It just never ceases to amaze me,” Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. “We’ve just got to keep being in opportunities and being in football games where he can help us affect the outcome. That’s really what happened today.”

The Titans bounced back from a surprising blowout loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Nashville to avoid what would have been their first 0-2 start since 2012.
