More than once this year, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been likened to a video game with the way his spin moves, jukes and other plays seemingly defy the laws of physics. Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale has a similar assessment for Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry.

“He’s like one of those guys the kids create on Madden,” Martindale said at his weekly news conference Jan. 8 as the Ravens prepare to face the Titans in an AFC divisional round playoff game Jan. 11. “You shouldn’t be that big and be able to run like he runs.”

Henry won the NFL rushing title this year with 1,540 yards on 303 carries and topped 100 yards in six of the Titans’ final seven regular-season games.
