NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans' offensive line helped Derrick Henry win the NFL's rushing title this season.

This week, Henry rewarded them with Rolex watches.

Seven Titans offensive linemen received the gift, according to the Titans' team website. 

"You have to love that you’ve got a running back who takes care of his guys and shows his appreciation," guard Rodger Saffold said to Titans Online. "And at the end of the day, we are trying to win and get that guy going. So really, anything we can do to make it happen, we are going to do.”

Henry rushed for 1,540 yards in the regular season and earned the rushing title with a 211-yard performance in Week 17 at Houston.

Henry missed a portion of the second half in Week 14 at Oakland and was inactive in Week 16 against New Orleans, making his rushing title all the more impressive. The former Alabama star also rushed for 182 yards and a touchdown on 34 carries in Tennessee's win at New England in the AFC wild-card game.

Henry and the Titans (10-7) face the No. 1 seeded Ravens (14-2) on Saturday (8:15 p.m. ET, CBS) in Baltimore in the AFC divisional round.
