On Friday, Titans longtime writer Paul Kuharsky shared a statement to Tennessee fans who might root for the Ravens star Henry.
"If you root for Derrick Henry to the extent that you want the Ravens to win so much as a game, you are not the #Titans’ fan you think you are. Period. Not up for debate," Kuharsky wrote on X.
"If they are on the goal line at the end of a game they are trailing by 4, and you want him to score, you are not the TEN fan you think you are."
That post didn't sit well with Henry, who replied, "Paul go find something to do."

Later that day, Kuharsky explained his thinking regarding the post.
After being given a hypothetical situation where the Ravens faced the Titans' AFC- South-rival Texans, the independent reporter said, "That’s one game. I’m making perfect sense. Ravens are probably No. 1 most-hated team for vast majority of TEN fans."
The Titans have somewhat of a rivalry with the Titans as there's recent history between the two franchises.
In 2021, the Ravens beat the Titans in the Wild Card Round 20-13.
