That's all I know.  Shaq Quarterman may be nothing but a scrub for the rest of his NFL career.  But to ignore the fact that this fumble was the reason the entire game flipped on it's head is kinda ridiculous.  We were about to be down 8 points.  Instead, we got the TurnOver and went into the half with a 6 point lead.  The momentum change was huge.  And I think most people watching at that time saw it.

I'll ask you again (I've asked a few times already) how many yards/runs did Henry have after that humanizing hit???
Henry is the tack offense.  After Shaq's hit, Henry disappeared.

Here's the hit again.  Watch #50 come in to lower the boom

It was a one score game. 

It didn't have to flip anywhere. The jags were in it. 

You are also assuming the Jags don't hold them to 3 points there if they don't fumble.  Which is silly. You don't know. 

And to answer your question: 
Derrick Henry still contributed after that hit, they just couldn't run him anymore because the Jags scored TDs on their next two possessions and the tacks were too far back with a quarter and a half remaining. They had to pass and Henry caught one of those and turned it into a big gain. You're attributing a game/scoreboard situation that affected the play calling to a hit on a RB which is way off base.

I agree with you for the most part on Shaq.  Dewey gets my game ball - He set the tone at the start of the game that led to that hit and fumble recovery.  

However, saying Tennessee "had to pass" is one thing I disagree with.  If there is one team in this league that sticks with their running game in spite of the score, it's Tenn.  In fact, didn't they have something like a 20 point come from behind victory earlier this year by mostly running the ball with Henry?  What was even better about it was tacks fans booing their own team for trying to stick to that formula.  We've been on the wrong side of too many curb-stompings by those bastages over the years, and as carp said it, and as I told my wife yesterday afternoon, "It was glorious!."
