Late for Work: Why Mike Tomlin Refused to Say Derrick Henry's Name on 'Sunday Night Football'
NBC Sports analyst Mike Tomlin refused to say Derrick Henry's name during the pregame show for the Ravens-Falcons "Sunday Night Football" matchup, as he repeatedly referred to the running back as "The Big Runner."
The former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach wasn't disrespecting Henry. To the contrary, Tomlin's choice to keep Henry's name out of his mouth was a show of respect for the future Hall-of-Fame running back.
With Lamar Jackson (ankle) sidelined for the game, Tomlin said the Ravens need to "ride The Big Runner." When elaborating, Tomlin used "The Big Runner" moniker two more times.
"He still will not say his name because he sends a shiver down his spine," Taylor said.
NBC’s Mike Tomlin refuses to say Derrick Henry’s name
When it comes to Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry, Mike Tomlin acts like he’s in a video game that didn’t get the rights to use his likeness.
The NBC Sports NFL analyst and former Pittsburgh Steelers coach was tasked with discussing Henry and the Ravens during their Sunday Night Football showdown with the Atlanta Falcons. However, when it came time to talk about the generational running back, Tomlin treated him like Voldemort or Beetlejuice, refusing to use his name.
“When you don’t have a guy the caliber of Lamar Jackson, as they say in The Godfather, ‘It’s time to go to the mattresses.’ How do they go to the mattresses? They ride the Big Runner,” said Tomlin on Sunday when discussing Henry.
